Problem 2 35
Problem 3 20
Problem 4 20
Total 100
a) ( 5 pts) What is the relationship between electrostatic force (Coulomb’s Law) and the electric field?
b) (5 pts) Explain what is meant by flux. ( Hint: Your answer does not need to be specific to electric
flux.)
c) (5 pts) In English, describe the physical significance of the term on the left-hand side of Gauss’s Law,
d) (5 pts) What is the important difference between electric potential energy and electric potential?
e) (5 pts) Explain the process of charging two capacitors connected in series that leads to the conclusion
that the amount of charge on each capacitor is the same.
