the brightness of bulb B? A)

[5 pts] The capacitor in the figure at right is initially uncharged and the switch, in position c, is not connected to either side of the circuit. The switch is now flipped to position a for 10 ms, then to position b for 10 ms. Which of the graphs below best represents the current through the capacitor over this 20 ms period? When the switch is in position a, the capacitor is charging, and when the switch is in position b, the capacitor is discharging. The current through the capacitor for both charging and discharging circuits is an exponential decay function, which is best represented by graph B.

[5 pts] A
negative
charge moves with a velocity in the positive y
-direction through a region of uniform magnetic field. The negative charge experiences a magnetic force that points out of the page. What is the direction of the magnetic field? A)
Positive x
-direction (to the right) B)
Negative x
-direction (to the left) C)
Negative y
-direction (toward bottom of the page) D)
Into the page E)
Out of the page By the right-hand rule, a force out of the page is consistent with a velocity in the positive y-direction and a magnetic field that points in the negative x-direction. However, since the charge in this question is negative, the magnetic field must point in the positive x-direction. 6.
[5 pts] Four charges of equal mass are initially moving to the right at equal speeds and enter a magnetic field. The magnetic field exerts a force on each of these charges resulting in the paths shown in the diagram. Which of the following statements are true? A)
All charges are positive, and the magnetic field is into the page. B)
All charges are positive, and the magnetic field is out of the page. C)
All charges are negative, and the magnetic field is out of the page. D)
Charges A and B are positive, C and D are negative, and the magnetic field is into the page. E)
More than one of the above is correct. At point P, the velocity of the charges is to the right, and to turn clockwise, the force on the charges must be downward (toward the center of the circular path). By the right-hand rule, a downward force, with a rightward velocity, would be consistent with an out of the page magnetic field for positive charges, or an into the page magnetic field for negative charges.
Since there is no choice that has an into the page magnetic field with negative charges, only choice B is correct.

[5 pts] The top wire in the figure at right produces a magnetic field at point P with a magnitude B

. The magnitude of the net magnetic field at point P is 5
B
top
and it points into the page. What is the magnitude and the direction of current in the bottom wire? A)
50 A to the right B)
50 A to the left C)
80 A to the right D)
80 A to the left E)
120 A to the left Using the right-hand rule, the magnetic field at point P due to the current in the top wire points into the page, and we know it has a magnitude B
top
. The magnitude of the net magnetic field at point P is 5B
top
, which means that the bottom wire could produce a magnetic field of 4B
top
into the page at point P or a 6B
top
field that points out of the page. Let us first look at the case where the magnetic field needs to be 4B
top
into the page. For the bottom wire to produce a magnetic field into the page, the current must move to the left through the bottom wire, and the current must be 80 A as shown below. |࠵?
