1 Ver 0001 Exam II, vers. 0001 - Physics 1120 - Fall, 2007 NAME (print please)__________________________________________ Student ID #__________________________________________________ TA’s Name(Circle one!): Edwin Widjonarko, Craig Hogle, Mike Mullan, Mike Hermele, Naresh Sen Starting time of your Tues recitation (write time in box: 9am, noon, 1pm, etc) Please do not open the exam until you are told to. Your exam should have 12 pages, numbered 1 thru 12. This exam consists of 18 multiple-choice questions worth 75 points total, and two multipart long-answer questions worth 25 points total. Fill in the bubble sheet with a #2 pencil. PLEASE follow all directions carefully – if you don’t, we may not be able to identify your exam (which would be a disaster for you!) Place a check in each box on the left as you complete the instructions. Circle your TA's name above. Print and bubble in your name on the bubble sheet. Print and bubble in your student Identification Number. Print and bubble in your Exam version, 0001 or 0002, in the upper left of your bubble sheet in the area marked 1234. Erase mistakes as thoroughly as possible. Ask for a fresh bubble sheet if you fear you cannot thoroughly erase mistakes. After you begin, be sure to neatly print your name and ID on the long answer question pages. At the end of the exam, check that you have filled in the first 18 questions on the bubble sheet, with only one bubble filled in for each question. I have read and followed the instructions above. Signature______________________________________________ Note: 1eV (electron-Volt) = 1.610-19 J. Charge of the electron e = 1.610-19 C.2 Ver 0001 NOTE: In ALL questions, please assume the electrical potential is defined to be zero at infinity, unless otherwise explicitly stated. 1. A small surface is completely enclosed by a larger surface. The volume inside the first surface is V1. The volume between the first and the second surface is V2.

A) Increase B) Decrease C) Remain the same D) Impossible to tell 11. How would the energy of the capacitor change if the slab were removed? A) Increase B) Decrease C) Remain the same D) Impossible to tell 12. An electron is injected between the plates of a large parallel plate capacitor, exactly in the middle, with the initial kinetic energy KEi. The distances between the plates is d, the charges on the plates are +Q and -Q. What is the final kinetic energy KEf of the electron as it hits one of the plates? 1 26 Ver 0001 A) KEf = KEi + Q2 d/(2 ε0 A) B) KEf = KEi - Q2 d/(2 ε0 A) C) KEf = KEi + Q d e/(2 ε0 A) D) KEf = KEi - Q d e/(2 ε0 A) F) KEf = KEi + d e2/(2 ε0 A) 13.
