Electrostatics
How does Coulomb’s Law adjust when considering two equal but opposite charges separated by distance r in vacuum?
Coulomb's Law does not apply since one charge negates the effect of the other.
There is no electrostatic force since equal but opposite charges create neutral regions where forces cancel out.
The electrostatic force between them becomes repulsive due to their opposite natures.
The electrostatic force between them is attractive with magnitude .
What type of charge does an electron have?
Neutral
Positive
Negative
Variable
If a charged particle moves through a region of space with a uniform magnetic field and an electric field at right angles to each other, which of the following paths would the particle most likely take if it has nonzero initial velocity perpendicular to both fields?
An elliptical orbit around lines of magnetic flux.
A parabolic trajectory in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
A helical path with constant pitch.
A straight-line path parallel to the electric field.
What direction does the electric field point around a positive point charge?
Toward the charge
In a circular path around the charge
It has no specific direction and is random
Away from the charge
If you tripled both voltage and resistance across a simple electric circuit, what would be the effect on power dissipation?
Power dissipation would remain unchanged.
Power dissipation would be halved.
Power dissipation would increase by three times its original value.
Power dissipation would reduce to one-third its original value.
If a non-conducting disk of radius R rotates with angular velocity ω in the presence of a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to the disk, what is the induced electric field E at a distance r from the center (r < R) due to this rotation?
E = B \omega \frac{r}{R}
E = \frac{B \omega r}{2}
E = B \omega r
E = \frac{B \omega r^2}{2R}
If two charges repel each other, what can we infer about their polarity?

Repulsive
A point charge is positioned equidistantly from three identical charges arranged in a triangle; what can be said about net force on it due to electrostatic interactions?
It experiences a net force directed toward one of charges.
It experiences an upward-directed net force.
It experiences no net force.
It experiences a downward-directed net force.
What effect does the flow of charge in a circuit have on adding another identical battery in series to the existing configuration?
Halves the total resistance, enhancing the overall current flow.
Maintains the total charge unaffected by adding elements to the circuit.
Doubles the total voltage, thereby increasing the current.
Doubles the total amperage while maintaining the voltage steady.
