Accepted Answer

Electric charge is a scalar quantity and can be positive or negative.

Question 2

According to the rules of electrical interaction, what happens when two protons are brought close together?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

What is the value of the elementary charge $$e in $$Coulombs?

Accepted Answer

$$1.60 	imes 10$$^{-19}$$ C

Accepted Answer

$$\vec{F} = q_0$ \vec{E}$$

Question 10

If two charges $$+q$$ and $$-q$$ are placed a distance $$d$$ apart, what is the direction of the electric field at the midpoint between them?

Accepted Answer

$$4.7 	imes 10^9$

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct statement about the electric field due to a point charge?

Accepted Answer

The electric field is directed toward the charge if it is negative.

Question 14

A $$2.0 \ \mathrm{g}$$ marble is suspended between two charged plates, $$6.0 \ \mathrm{cm}$$ apart, and remains stationary. If the electric field between the plates is $$3.3 	imes 10^3$ \ \mathrm{N/C}$$, what is the charge on the marble? (Take $$g = 9.8 \ \mathrm{m/s^2$})$$

Accepted Answer

$$5.9 	imes 10$$^{-6}$$ \ \mathrm{C}$$

Question 15

Which of the following is a limitation of Coulomb's law?

Accepted Answer

It is only valid when the distance between charges is much greater than their size.

Question 16

If the distance between two point charges is doubled, what happens to the magnitude of the electric force between them?

Accepted Answer

It becomes one-fourth as large.

Question 17

A proton and an electron are placed $$1.0 	imes 10$$^{-10}$$ m apart. What is the direction of the electric force on the electron?
