NOTE: For Prob.1, below, please circle the answer of your choice for each part. 1a .( 3pts .) Suppose at one instant the electrons and the nucleus of a helium atom occupy the positions as shown. The electric potential energy of this charge configuration is: [a] – 3 .5kQ^2 /r [b] – 4 kQ^2 /r [c] zero [d] + 4kQ^2 /r 1b. ( 3pts. ) Two capacitors are connected in series as shown with C 1 =2C 2. If U 1 and U 2 are, respectively the potential energy stored in C 1 and C 2 ., which of the following statements is true? [a] U 1 = 2U 2 [b] 2 U 1 = U 2 [c] U 1 = U 2 [c] 4U 1 = U 2 1c. ( 3pts. ) When the potential difference between the plates of a capacitor is doubled, the potential energy stored in the capacitor is: [a] doubled [b] halved [c] unchanged [d] quadrupled 1d. ( 3pts .)Consider two conducting metallic spheres S1 and S2. The radius of S1 is half that of S2. Each sphere is given some excess charge such that both spheres have the same potential at their surfaces. This implies that: [a] S1 and S2 have equal charges. [b] S2 has more charge on it than S. [c] S 1 has more charge on it than S 2 r r
Prob.2. Three charges are arranged on the three corners of a rectangle as shown (Q = 2.0x

Potential, V(P) = 3kQ/0.1 – kQ/0.08 + kQ/0.06 = kQ( 30 - 12.5 +16.7) = 6.15*10^5 V [c] ( 3 pts )How much work would you have to do on a fourth charge q = 5.0 nC to bring it from infinity to P? !
