Conceptual Review: Chapter 15
A . Coulomb Force
1. Two Coulomb forces are exerted on a charged object and they are in different directions. How do you calculate the net force on the object?
2. I expect the net force in the previous question to be in the 2nd quadrant. But my calculator shows it is in the 4th quadrant. What should I do?
B. Electric Field
1. Does electric field change direction if you change the sign of a test charge?
2. Two positive charges are aligned on a line. Can the electric field be zero between the two charges? Explain.
3. Two charges are aligned on a line. One is positive and the other one is negative. Can the electric field be zero between the two charges? Explain.
C. Electric Flux
1. Electric flux for a uniform electric field is Ф = EAcosθ. θ is the the angle of the field with respect to:
2. For a closed surface, is the normal taken to be outside or inside of the surface?
D. Gauss’s Law
1. Gaussian surface should be chosen so that:
2. Point charge q is located at the center of an uncharged conducting spherical shell. Find the charge on the inner surface and on the outer surface.
3. Consider an infinite non-conducting plane with uniform charge distribution. How do you choose a Gaussian surface?
4. The flux through a Gaussian surface is measured to be zero. Can you conclude the electric field on the surface is zero?
