Some examples from this set of practice questions
1.
What is an \'Equipotential Surface\'?
Answer: A closed surface where the electric potential is constant
2.
Define \'Isolated Charge\'.
Answer: A charge where the force acts equally in all directions and on a spherical surface area
3.
Describe the relationship between \'Potential Energy\' and work in a capacitor.
Answer: Potential energy is the work done to charge a capacitor, stored as 1/2 CV2
4.
Explain the behaviour of Electric Field inside a conducting sphere.
Answer: The electric field is zero inside a conducting sphere
5.
What is meant by \'Superposition\' in the context of charges?
Answer: It is the vector sum of forces from multiple charges
6.
How is the magnitude of the force in Coulomb\'s Law related to the distance between charges?
Answer: The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance
7.
Explain what an equipotential surface is in electrostatics.
Answer: It is a surface where the electric potential is constant
8.
What is the superposition principle in electrostatics?
Answer: It is the vector sum of forces from multiple charges
9.
Explain the relationship between the force in Coulomb\'s Law and the magnitudes of the charges.
