 1. As you move from point A to point B, in each arrangement, circle if the electric field
strength is increasing, decreasing, or remains the same:

Arrangement (a):Increasing

Arrangement (b) : Decreasing

Arrangement (c): Same

(i) Rank the arrangements according to the linear momentum of the proton at point B, greatest
first. Circle one.
A>B>C
a=b>c a=b=c
(ii) Instead of releasing a proton at point A, we now release an electron from point B. In all three
arrangements the electron moves the same way. Which way does it move? Circle one.

2. Step 1
The positions of the charges are symmetrical in each side of the point P. The electric fields
at point P due to identical charges, which are situated symmetrically opposite to each other,
will get cancelled. Only the horizontal charges -2q and –q placed on the outer ring give a
nonzero electric field at point P. The distance with the charge at the outer ring and the
point is d.

Write an expression for the electric field due to -2q charge.

Step 2
Write an expression for the electric field due to -q charge.
Step 3
Write an expression for the magnitude of the net electric.

3. C at x=-3.40m and q2 = +q = +3.20 x 10 19 C at x = +340m . The

point P forms an equilateral triangle with the two charges with equal sides of length 2d
= 6.80 m and three equal interior angles of 600 each.

On the figure draw the three electric field vectors, Epi (the field at P due to l), Ep2 (the
field at P due to 2), and Ep, (the total net field at P due to both I and 2).

5. (a) The only place in which the two negative charges can exert a force to cancel each other
out is in between the two negative charges.
(b) Again, the only charge that can produce a net force of zero in between is a positive charge.
(c) The equilibrium is unstable. If the positive charge is displaced in either direction, it will not
return to the equilibrium point, much like a a car on the top of a hill will not return to the top
of a hill once nudged off.

6. There were two interpretations: either you could rank the situations according to the points,
or according to the charge scenarios. The former is obtained by noticing two things: the
electric field due to a circular ring is, Ering(z) = kqz (R2 + z 2 ) 3/2 , (1) and since they are
identical, we need only consider how the magnitude behaves with z, the distance along the
axis from the center of the ring (note also that at any ring center, the electric field due to the
ring alone is zero). The direction of the field is dictated by the charge on the ring. The
magnitude decreases as z −2 . The situations therefore breakdown as follows:
1. q0, q0 : P3, P2, P1
2. −q0, −q0 : same as (a) by symmetry.
3. −q0, q0 : P1, P3, P2.
and if you are ranking by the charge situations at each point then,
1. P1 : 3, 1 = 2,
2. P2 : 1 = 2 = 3,
3. P3 : 1 = 2, 3.

7. A. We know that the potential energy is given by V=-P.E=-PEcosø. So if the energy is

minimum when cosø is maximum, that is angel is minimum. So if we arrange according to
angle the -7U0 has the minimum angle and 5U0 has the minimum angle.
 B. So arrangement is
5U0>3U0>5U0>7U0

8. A. Positive
B. The same as
