If two charges are separated by vacuum and experience a force due to their interaction when separated by distance , what will be their interaction force if they are now separated by distance ?
2F
4F
A particle moves along an equipotential line due to an external force acting tangentially to its path – what work is done by when moving between two points on this line separated by distance ?
, where is the particle's charge.
, with being the potential difference between two points.
If an electron is released from rest at point P in an electric potential field volts, what initial acceleration does it experience?
When two charges are separated by vacuum, how does an electric field between them affect one of those charges?
It exerts an electrical force on it.
It increases its mass.
It nullifies gravitational forces on it.
It changes its color spectrum emission.
What role does a voltmeter play when integrated into an electrical circuit?
To measure the potential difference between two points.
To increase voltage level at its terminals.
To control the power supplied to the load.
To provide a path for excess current.
When four identical positive point charges are placed at each corner of a square, what will be the direction of the resultant electric field at one corner?
No resultant field since symmetry leads all forces canceling each other out at corners.
Towards the center of the square due to attraction by hypothetical negative charge at center.
Along one side of square due to cancellation effects along diagonals.
Directly away from that corner due to repulsion from adjacent and diagonal charges.
If the electric potential at a point in space is quadrupled, how does this affect the electric field strength at that point assuming all other variables remain constant?
The electric field strength is halved.
No change to the electric field strength.
The electric field strength is quadrupled.
The electric field strength is doubled.
