Electrostatics

A point charge +q is placed at a distance d from an isolated conducting plane. The field at a point P on the other side of the plane is

• directed perpendicular to the plane and away from the plane

• directed perpendicular but towards the plane

• directed radially away from the point charge

• directed radially towards from the point charge

A positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of the charge

• remains a constant because the electric field is uniform

• increases because the charge moves along the electric field

• decreases because the charge moves along the electric field

• decreases because the charge moves opposite to the electric field

Equipotentials at great distance from a collection of charges whose total sum is not zero are approximately

• spheres

• planes

• paraboloids

• ellipsoids

What is the end result of charging by contact?

• Both object have the same charge, so they will attract one another

• Both object have the same charge, so they will repel one another

• Both object have the opposite charge, so they will attract one another

• Both object have the opposite charge, so they will repel one another
