A 1 μFcapacitor is connected in series with a 20 kΩ resistor.  A 9 v battery is added in series with the capacitor and resistor when a switch is closed.  What is the voltage between the plates of the capacitors 13 ms after closing the switch?

A 40 μC charge is posisitioned on the x-axis at x = 4.0 cm.  Where should a -60μCcharge be placed to produce a net electric field of zero at the origin?

The Criterion A symptoms for other hallucinogen use disorder are the same for those listed for use disorders of most other substance classes, except for one exception. Which of the following is not a recognized symptom associated with hallucinogen use?

Two like charges of the same magnitude are 5.0 mm apart.  If the force of repulsion they exert upon each other is 2.0 N, what is the magnitude of each charge?  (The constant or proportionality for the Coulombic force is 9.0 x 109 Nm2/C2.)

A charged particle of mass 0.0020 kg is subjected to a 6.0 T magnetic field wich acts at a right angle to its motion.  If the particle moves in a circle of radius 0.20 m at a speed of 5.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the charge on the particle.

A wire lying in the place of the page carries a current towards the bottom of the page, as shown.What is the direction of the magnetic force it produces on an electron that is moving perpendicularly toward the wire, asl in the place of the page, from your right?

FE-06.png Two identically charged balls are a certain distance apart. The vectors in the diagram below show the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic force on each ball.

In a loop in a closed circuit, the sum of the currents entering a junction equals the sum of the currents leaving the junction because

An 82-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department by her daughter because of sudden confusion. Yesterday she was alert and oriented, but today she is disoriented to time and place. She alternates between agitation and drowsiness. On examination, she has difficulty sustaining attention and cannot recite the months of the year backward. Her speech is rambling and incoherent at times. Vital signs reveal a low-grade fever, and urinalysis shows leukocyte esterase and nitrites. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
