PHYS-224 Summer 2008 Test 2 in Electricity and Electrostatics, Exams of Physics

A test for the physics 224 class taught by dr. Russell during the summer 2008 semester. The test covers chapters 29, 30, 31, and 32 on electricity and electrostatics. It includes multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and problem-solving questions. Students are required to show all work and are not allowed to cheat. The test consists of 60 points and covers topics such as electric fields, potential energy, potential difference, capacitors, current density, and conductivity.

Class Meeting Time: 8:00am 11:25am 2:25pm
1. You must sho w ALL work in a clear and o rganized manner in order to receive full credit. Insufficient
work or incomplete explanations will result in a loss of points.
2. Cheating will be dealt with severely. Keep your eyes on your own pap er, and do not attempt to talk or
communicate to any student around you. Students who are involved in any kind of cheating will
receive a ZERO on this test, and will be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
3. Except for a simple numerical mistake in adding points, any appeals regarding how this exam was
graded must be submitted in writing (return the exam al so) within 3 class meetings after the test was
handed back.
Test #2 Raw Score: ____ / 60 Test #2 Grade: _____ / 100
1. (10 pts) Fill in the blanks for the following sentences.
If a charged particle is placed in an electric field it will experience a ___________, and this will
cause the charged particle to _________________ . While accelerating, the charged particle will
move through a _________________, which means that the force is doing ________ on the
charged particle. If the force and displacement are in the same direction, the work done by the
electric field is _________ __ . Positive work causes the kinetic energy of the charged particle to
________________ and the potential energy to _______________. Electric potential is defined as
the potential energy per unit ___________ . Only ____________ in electric potential are important.
When calculating the change in potential between two locations the ________ does not matter.
If a charged particle is moved through a potential difference, the particle will experience a change in
______________ _________. Write this sentence as an equation.
If a potential di fference exists between two locations, than an ___________ ____ ________ must
also exist in that region, and this electric field points in the direction of __________________
______________ ______________ . Write this sent ence as an equation.
