contains two point
charges inside, with equal magnitude but with opposite sign ( and
). What is the net electric field flux through the surface of the
cube?
(a) (b) 0 (c) (d)
(e) Not enough information
4)
Which one of the following statements about conductors in
electrostatic equilibrium is FALSE?
(a)
The electric field is zero everywhere inside the conductor.
(b)
If an isolated conductor carries a charge, the charge
resides on its surface.
(c)
The electric field just outside a charged conductor is
perpendicular to the surface of the conductor and has a magnitude
, where is the surface charge density at
that point.
(d)
On an irregularly shaped conductor, the surface charge
density is greatest at locations where the radius of curvature of the
surface is smallest.
