Electromagnetism
What would happen to the electrostatic force if both charges were doubled while keeping the distance between them unchanged?
Stays the same
Increases by four times
Decreases fourfold
Decreases by half
In an AC circuit containing only a resistor and an ideal capacitor in series, how does quadrupling the frequency of the source affect the capacitive reactance?
Capacitive reactance remains unchanged regardless of frequency change.
Capacitive reactance halves its original value.
Capacitive reactance quadruples its original value.
Capacitive reactance decreases by one-fourth of its original value.
Assuming all other factors unchanged, what will happen to the magnitude force between two charged particles placed within a dielectric medium if the permittivity of the medium triples?
The force magnitude will be reduced to one ninth
The force magnitude will remain constant
The force magnitude will increase by a factor of three
The force magnitude will be one third as large
Why don't electrons leave a conducting sphere that is electrically neutral?
There is no net force pushing them off of the sphere.
Electrons are positively charged and attracted to the sphere.
The electrons are too large to escape from the sphere's surface.
Gravity keeps them attached to the sphere's surface.
How does the line integral of the electric field around a closed loop relate to electric fields?
It measures how much resistance there is against establishing an electric current.
It equals the amount of charge enclosed by that loop.
It equals zero since electrostatic fields are conservative.
It represents the induced emf in that loop due to changing magnetic flux.
What would increase the energy transfer rate between two coils in a transformer system?
Decreasing coil turns
Lowering core permeability
Reducing primary voltage
Increasing mutual inductance
Which particle carries a negative electrical charge?
Positron
Neutron
Proton
Electron

A charged particle is placed at the center of a uniformly charged ring; where should a second identical charged particle be placed so that the electrostatic force acting on it due to the ring is zero?
Any point on the axis perpendicular to and passing through the center of the ring.
At any point outside but equidistant from all points on the ring.
Directly at the center of the ring along with the first charge.
On the circumference of the ring.
What is the SI unit of electric current?
Coulomb (C)
Ohm (Ω)
Ampere (A)
Volt (V)
What is the main reason a conductor can be charged to a high potential with minimal charge?
Charges can be removed from the conductor easily without losing potential.
There are no limits on how much charge a conductor can hold.
Charges in conductor are so free-flowing they don't accumulate anywhere.
Charge spreads out so much that they repel additional charges strongly.
