This document contains 50 well-structured multiple-choice questions with fully correct answers, created for Phys 202 – University Physics II at Texas A&M University. Tailored for the 2025/2026 academic year, it is designed to reflect the core content and format of Exam 1. The questions cover a broad range of foundational topics, including electric charge and field interactions, electric potential and field mapping, Gauss’s Law, conductors and insulators, equipotential surfaces, capacitors (including dielectric effects and configurations), current, resistance, Ohm’s Law, and circuit analysis involving series and parallel components. The document blends conceptual understanding with practical calculation, making it ideal for self-testing and reinforcing problem-solving skills. It also integrates real-world physics applications like battery behavior, lightbulb current flow, and electric force balance. This resource is especially valuable for: Students in University Physics II or similar calculus-based electromagnetism courses Electrical and Mechanical Engineering majors Pre-med, Physics, or other STEM students seeking exam-ready preparation in electrostatics and circuits Whether you're preparing for your first major exam or reviewing key concepts, this exam bank provides targeted, reliable practice that mirrors real academic assessments. Keywords: electric charge, electric field, Gauss’s law, capacitors, resistance, circuits, Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s rules, dielectric, electric potential, battery, charge transfer, energy in capacitors, current, series and parallel circuits, equipotential, conductor, field lines, force on charges

Questions and Correct Answers | New
Update



Two charged balls are

repelling each other as

they hang from the

ceiling. What can you

say about their


charges? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔both are positive or both are negative


When you rub a plastic rod with fur, the

plastic rod becomes negatively charged

,and the fur becomes positively

charged. As a consequence of rubbing


the rod with the fur, - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the rod gains mass and the fur loses

mass

When we say charge is conserved,


we mean that charge can - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔only be transferred from one

place to

another


conductor - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A material whose


conduction electrons are free to move

throughout. Metals are good

conductors.


insulator - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A material whose electrons


rarely move from atom to atom.

Most insulators

are non-metals

, A metal ball hangs from

the ceiling by an

insulating thread. The

ball is attracted to a

positive-charged rod held

near the ball. The charge


of the ball must be: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔negative or neutral


What is the magnitude of the


force F2? (F1 is 3N) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The force of one on the other


of a pair is the same as the reverse F2 is 3N

If we increase one charge to 4Q,


what is the magnitude of F1? (F1 is 3N) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔F1 = k(4Q)(Q)/r2

so magnitude of F1 is 12N

Two balls with charges +Q and +4Q are

fixed at a separation distance of 3R. Is it

possible to place another charged ball Q0
