1 Exm Totl / 200 Physics 215 Exm 1 Ferury 14, 2017 Printed Nme: Rec. Sec. Letter: Five multiple choice questions, 8 points ech. Choose the est or most nerly correct nswer. 1. Two chrges 1 nd 2 re seprted y distnce d. The Coulom force etween them hs mgnitude F. After the chrges re pulled prt to lrger distnce, the mgnitude of the Coulom force is now F/4. Wht is the new distnce? [A] 4d [B] 2d [C] 16d [D] cnnot tell without knowing 1 nd 2 2. An electron is initilly trveling horizontlly with velocity v 0 in region where there is uniform electric field. The electric field deflects the electron down. Wht is the direction of the electric field? [A] up [B] down [C] right [D] left v 0. The electric potentil in some region of spce is given y V = Ax 2 y 2 By where A nd B re positive constnts. The y-component of the electric field is: [A] 2Axy 2 [B] 2Ax 2 y B [C] By [D] 2Axy 2 [E] 2Ax 2 y + B 4. An electric dipole plced in uniform electric field hs minimum electric potentil energy when p is nd mximum mgnitude torque when p is. [A] prllel to E, prllel to E. [B] prllel to E, perpendiculr to E. [C] perpendiculr to E, prllel to E. [D] perpendiculr to E, perpendiculr to E. 5. The cpcitnce of prllel-plte cpcitor cn e incresed y [A] decresing the chrge on ech plte [B] decresing the re of ech plte [C] decresing the spcing etween the pltes [D] decresing the potentil difference cross the pltes. /40 for pge 1
