PHYS 1260 – 40 Exam Questions on Magnetism, Circuits & Induction

This document contains 40 fully answered and verified multiple-choice questions from PHYS 1260: University Physics II, Exam 2 (2026 edition). It presents a comprehensive review of fundamental concepts in electricity and magnetism, including series and parallel circuits, current flow, Ohm’s law, magnetic fields, motion of charged particles, electromagnetic induction, the operation of motors and generators, and properties of electric and magnetic fields. Each question is paired with a correct answer and often includes the reasoning or concept behind it, ensuring students understand not just the “what,” but also the “why.” This makes the material particularly effective for conceptual reinforcement and exam preparation. The content is well-suited for students in: – PHYS 1260: University Physics II – Introductory electromagnetism courses (calculus-based) – Engineering physics modules (mechanical, electrical, or general engineering) – Advanced high school physics courses like AP Physics C: E&M (for additional practice) Whether used for last-minute review or structured self-study, this resource offers a high-yield, topic-focused exam preparation tool aligned with core learning outcomes in electromagnetism.
