Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.52 Electric, Magnetic, and Gravitational Fields skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A charged particle moves in a circle at constant speed in empty space. Which field configuration could cause this motion by itself (ignore gravity)?

ANo field at all.

BA uniform electric field perpendicular to the motion, with no magnetic field.

CA uniform electric field parallel to the motion.

DA uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the motion.

Solution & Explanation:Circular motion at constant speed requires a perpendicular (centripetal) force. A uniform magnetic field can provide a constant-magnitude force perpendicular to velocity, producing circular motion without changing speed.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A stationary positive charge is placed in a region with a uniform magnetic field but no electric field. Which statement is correct?

AIt accelerates in the direction of the magnetic field.

BIt accelerates opposite the magnetic field because it is positive.

CIt experiences no magnetic force until it starts moving.

DIt experiences maximum sideways force even while stationary.

Solution & Explanation:Magnetic force depends on velocity. With v = 0, the magnetic force is zero. If the charge begins to move, a magnetic force can act.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A hollow metal conductor shields its interior from an external static electric field. If a charge is placed inside the hollow cavity, which statement is correct?

AThe electric field exists only in the metal, not in the empty cavity.

BThere will be an electric field in the cavity due to the internal charge, even though the conductor itself remains field-free inside its material.

CThe cavity must have zero electric field because conductors cancel all fields everywhere inside.

DThe external field reappears inside the cavity because of the internal charge.

Solution & Explanation:A conductor’s material has E = 0 in electrostatic equilibrium, but a charge inside a cavity can create fields in the cavity region. Charges redistribute on surfaces to keep the metal field-free.
