Problem 1-2-5

What is the current across a circuit element when 40C of charge flows every 5
milliseconds through the element?
Select the correct answer from the list below.
200 nano Amps (200x109)
200 A
0.008 A
0.08 A

Problem 1-2-6

Consider two point charges shown above. Suppose that q1=10C and q2=20C Select all true
statements.
The point charges are repelling one another.
The electrical force is inversely proportional to the distance between the particles.
The magnitude of the electrical force between the point charges is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance.
The larger the distance between the particles, the stronger the force between them.
The point charges are attracting one another.
The shorter the distance between the point charges, the stronger the force between them.

Problem 1-3-1
Question 1:

For the diagram above, the following voltages are specified:

VA=4V, VD=2V, Va=0V

Here, Vab indicates the voltage referenced from node b to node a. In other words,
imagine Vab being identified in the diagram as having a "-" at node b and a "+" at node a. The other
voltages are specified using the labeled references. Va is the value of the voltage potential at node a
Find the value of VB in volts and enter it in the box below. Omit the units from your answer. For
example, if the answer is 10V enter 10.

Question 2:
For the same circuit above, find Vab and enter it into the space below without units.

Question 3:
For the same circuit above, find VC and enter it into the space below without units. (VC is the
voltage across the top element, not the voltage at the point c in the circuit.)

Question 1:

For the diagram above, the following voltages are specified:

vA=2V, vD = 2V, vE = 3V, vG = 4V, vH = 2V, vab = 10V

Here, vab indicates the voltage referenced from node b to node a. In other words, imagine vab being
identified in the diagram as having a "-" at node b and a "+" at node a. The other voltages are
specified using the labeled references.
Find the value of vC in volts and enter it in the box below. Omit the units from your answer. For
example, if the answer is 10V enter 10.

Question 2:
For the same circuit, find vF in units of volts. Enter your answer in the space below without the units.
