Part I – True or False (2.5 points each):
For questions 1 – 11, state whether each statement is true
or false.
1. The change in electric potential energy,
U
b
–
U
a
, is the work done on a charge by the electric
force as it moves from point
a
to point
b
.
2. The potential due to a spherically symmetric charge distribution is the same as that of a point
charge
.
3.
Equipotential surfaces are always flat and perpendicular to the electric field.
4. The units of
,
the permittivity of free space, may be expressed as F/m.
5. The fatter a given length of wire is the higher its resistance will be
.
6. In an alternating current, the charge carriers switch between electrons and protons in a repeated
fashion.
7. A 1200-W toaster draws more current than a 1000-W toaster.
