A hollow METALLIC sphere has an inner radius A and an outer radius B. If charge is placed on the inner surface, that is at radius A, where is the charge located after it has come to rest?


Q-1: A hollow METALLIC sphere has an inner radius A and an outer radius B. If charge is placed on the inner surface, that is at radius A, where is the charge located after it has come to rest?
ANSWER: ON THE SPHERE'S OUTER SURFACE or OUTSIDE RADIUS B
Q-2:  Two parallel wires carrying currents in opposite directions will:
1) attract each other
2) repel each other
3) cause an electric arc to form
4) not affect each other
ANSWER: 2 -- REPEL EACH OTHER
Q-3:  In an electromagnetic wave, the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field to the magnet field is equal to what?
ANSWER: THE SPEED OF LIGHT or C
Q-4:  Suppose the power of a prescription lens is 4 diopters. What is the focal length of the lens?
ANSWER: = 25 CENTIMETERS
Q-5:  Assuming all other parameters remain constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas when the volume of the gas is increased?
1) increases
2) decreases
3) fluctuates sinusoidally
4) remains the same
ANSWER: 2 -- DECREASES
Q-6:  If a metallic object is heated, its density generally:
1) increases
2) decreases
3) fluctuates randomly
4) remains the same
ANSWER: 2 -- DECREASES
