PHYS102-midtermexam 2022-2023 Finalversion

1. The document is the midterm exam for a Physics II course. It contains 4 problems testing concepts of electrostatics, including point charges, electric fields due to charged rods and cylinders, and parallel charged plates. Students must show all work, include units, and submit solutions as a PDF within 90 minutes. 2. The second problem asks students to calculate the electric field and force at the center of a circular arc carrying a uniform line charge. 3. The third problem uses Gauss' law to find the electric field everywhere for a coaxial arrangement of cylindrical shells with different surface charge densities.

MIDTERM EXAM

Grades:
1) 25 pts 2) 25 pts 3) 25 pts 4) 25 pts

Write your name on each page of your answer sheets. You must show all your work to get credit; you
will not be given any points unless you show the details of your work (this applies even if your final
answer is correct!). Write neatly and clearly; unreadable answers will not be given any credit. Make
sure that you include units in your results. Make sure that you label the axis and have units in your
plots. You should upload your answers to the Halic-x as a PDF file in 90 minutes.
