Our Comments
1. If your TA doesn’t show up – go to undergrad office 231/3
(or home page for telephone numbers of discussion and lab
masters)
2. Please operate only your own clicker
3. Unfortunately we really can’t help with PreLecture,
Checkpoint or homework physics questions by email – too
many students: Office Hours, CARE (see link), your friends

Coulomb’s Law (from last time)
If there are more than two charges present, the total force
on any given charge is just the vector sum of the forces due
to each of the other charges:

Checkpoint 1
“Field directions were confusing.”
Two equal, but opposite charges are place on the x axis. The positive charge is placed
to the left of the origin and the negative charge to the right, as shown in the figure above.
What is the direction of the electric field at point A?
A. Up B. Down C. Left D. Right E. Zero

What is the direction of the electric field at point B?

Checkpoint 2
In which of the two cases below is the magnitude of the electric field at the point labeled A
the largest?
E
A Case 1
E
B Case 2
C Same
“the two positive charges would cancel eachother out in the x
direction since they both have fields that point away from them,
while the charges in case one have fields that both point in the
same direction.”
“In two there is a component of the field pointing away.”
“The coulomb forces exerted at point A are at right angles in
both cases, so that the magnitude stays the same.”

Physics 212 Lecture 2, Slide 7
Two Charges
Two charges q1 and q2 are fixed at points (-a,0) and (a,0) as
shown. Together they produce an electric field at point (0,d)
which is directed along the negative y-axis.

Checkpoint 3
A positive test charge q is released from rest at a distance r away from a charge of +Q and a
distance 2r away from a charge of +2Q. How will the test charge move immediately after being
released?
A. To the left B. To the right C. Stay still D. Other
INTERESTING: statement is correct,
but given in support of “to the left” !!
“although the charge on the right is doubled, the
force on q by the charge is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the
charges, so the force is effectively halved
compared to the charge on the left. “
“radius gets squared so it moves to the right
even though the second charge is stronger.”
“The forces from each charge will have the
same force because of their relative distances.”

Two infinite lines of charge are shown below.
Both lines have identical charge densities +l C/m. Point A is equidistant from both lines and Point
B is located above the top line as shown. How does EA, the magnitude of the electric field at point
A compare to EB, the magnitude of the electric field at point B?
A. EA < EB B. EA = EB C. EA > EB
“cancel at A, sum at B“
“Both fields are parallel and both lines are
parallel and identical.”
“b is twice as far from the bottom one as the
other, therefore smaller E.”
