Physics 11 Sample Common Exam 3: Sample 5 Name (Print): 4 Digit ID: Section: Honors Code Pledge: As an NJIT student I, pledge to comply with the provisions of the NJIT Academic Honor Code. I assert that I have not violated the NJIT Academic Honor Code. Instructions: e sure your name and section number are on both the Scantron form and the question book. There are 18 multiple choice questions on this exam, all worth the same amount. Sixteen correct answers yield a score of 100%. Extra credit questions 17, and 18 may be harder than the others. Answer each question on the Scantron sheet using a # pencil. Do your calculations on the exam papers under each question: use the backs of pages for extra space. A default formula sheet is provided at the end of this exam booklet. It is the same as the one made available on the course web site. Otherwise, this is a closed book exam. Make sure to bring your own calculator: you will need it and sharing of calculators is not permitted. If you have questions or need something call your proctor or instructor. As you know, NJIT has a zero-tolerance policy for ethics code violations. Students are not to communicate with each other once the exam has started. All cell phones, pagers, or similar electronic devices must be turned off. 1. In the multi-loop circuit shown in the figure, both batteries are ideal EMFs with V 1 =.0 Volt, and V = 3.0 Volts.
