Electromagnetism
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.
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.
In which configuration would an electric field NOT be present inside a conductor because charges are evenly distributed across its surface?
When a conductor is uncharged and isolated in empty space far from other charges or fields.
When a point charge is placed inside an otherwise empty hollow conductor.
When an external electric field is applied uniformly across an isolated conductor.
When a neutral conductor is grounded in Earth's gravitational field alone.
If the radius of a long, straight conducting wire carrying a constant current is doubled without changing the current density, how does this affect the magnetic field strength at a point equidistant from the wire's center before and after the change?
The magnetic field strength doubles.
The magnetic field strength is halved.
The magnetic field strength is quadrupled.
The magnetic field strength remains unchanged.
In which scenario would you expect the magnetic field energy density inside a long straight wire carrying current with radius and permeability constant to be greater?
When the current is increased and diameter remains constant
When is decreased and current is maintained
Whenever the wire is spaced into vacuum with no change in current
When the radius is decreased but current stays the same

If two charges are at rest near each other, they experience an electric force; what type of force is this?
Magnetic force
Gravitational force
Electrostatic force
Frictional force
What happens to excess charge placed on a conductor?
It spreads evenly throughout the surface.
It penetrates deep into the material.
It stays at the initial contact point.
It causes the object to become magnetic.
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
