Question


1.Suppose you put positive charge on an insulated metal box (actually, remove electrons from the box). Since it is a conductor, the charges will rearrange.

- The greatest accumulation of charges will be

nowhere- the charges will be uniformly distributed

on the inside, in the center of an edge    

on the outside, at the corners

on the outside, in the center of an edge

on the inside, at the center of a side

on the inside, at the corners

on the outside, at the center of a side

- The electric field inside the box will be

greatest in the center of the box

zero everywhere    

non-zero, the same everywhere

greatest near the center of one of the edges

greatest near the center of one of the sides

greatest near one of the corners

2. Suppose identical metal spheres are insulated from their surroundings and touching each other. A positive charge is brought near, but not touching sphere A, and held near to sphere A as the two spheres are separated. Now, the positive charge is removed. What charge will be left on sphere A and sphere B, respectively?

A is negative, B is positive

A is positive, B is positive    

A in neutral, B is neutral

A is neutral, B is positive

A is positive, B is negative

A in negative, B is neutral

A is negative, B is negative

A in positive, B is neutral

A is neutral, B is negative

4. A pith ball is a small ball covered with a conducting metal foil. Suppose pith ball A is charged negatively.

- First, pith ball A is brought near neutral pith ball B.

- Then, the two pith balls touch and are separated.

a) Which is true of the charges on the two pith balls?

Before they touch they repel, after they touch they attract    

Before they touch they attract, after they touch they have no effect on each other

Before they touch they repel, after they touch they repel

Before they touch they attract, after they touch they attract

Before they touch they have no effect on each other, after they touch they repel

Before they touch they have no effect on each other, after they touch they attract

Before they touch they attract, after they touch they repel

Before they touch they repel, after they touch they have no effect on each other

b) Before they touch, ball A is negative and ball B is positive. After they touch

A is positive, B is positive    

A is positive, B is neutral

A is negative, B is positive

A is negative, B is negative

A is neutral, B is neutral

A is positive, B is negative

A is negative, B is neutral

A is neutral, B is negative

Explanation / Answer

1. charges uniformly on the outside

electric field will be zero.

2.A in neutral, B is neutral

4. a) Before they touch they have no effect on each other, after they touch they repel

b) A is neutral, B is neutral
