PH203 2014 Exam #1 Name ____________________________________________ Part I: True/False _____1) Two nuclei each contain two protons and exert a force 4 N on each other. If we transfer a proton from one of these nuclei to the other, the force on each nucleus is now reduced to 3 N. _____2) Two neutral objects cannot attract each other electrically because they have no excess charge. _____3) Two infinite parallel plastic sheets contain equal negative charge densities uniformly spread over their surfaces. The electric field is zero everywhere between these sheets, not just midway between them. _____4) It is impossible for any object to have a charge of 7.5 e. _____5) Two protons slightly separated from one another form an electric dipole. _____6) Two equal positive charges are separated by a fixed distance. If you put a third positive charge midway between these two charges, its electrical potential energy (relative to infinity) is zero because the electrical forces due to the two fixed charges just balance each other. _____7) You want to put an electron somewhere between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor so that it will have the maximum electrical potential energy relative to one of the plates. The best place to put it is at the inner surface of the negative plate. _____8) Suppose you have two point charges, +Q and -q. As you pull them farther and farther apart, you increase the potential energy of this system relative to infinity. _____9) If the electrical potential in a region is constant, the electric field must be zero everywhere in that region. _____10) Four identical positive point charges lie at the corners of a square.
