- separation is halved?
- individual charges are each doubled?
- One coulomb of charge passes through a point in an electric circuit every ten seconds. What is the current in the circuit?
- Two identical charges are located 1 m apart and feel a 1 N repulsive electric force. What is the charge of each particle?

- A uniform electric field can be created between two parallel plates that bear equal but opposite electric charges. Suppose that two such plates have a potential difference of 6 V between them. How far apart do they need to be to create an electric field of 50 N/C? (The plates are in a vacuum.)
- An electron has a mass of 9.1×10−31 kg and a charge of −1.6×10−19 C. Suppose you could isolate one electron in a perfect vacuum and then create an electric field to pull upward on the electron. How strong would the field have to be to counteract the electron’s weight? (In other words, how strong would the field have to be to put the electron in a state of force equilibrium?)
- Three charged particles, having equal positive charges, are equidistant at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Sketch their combined electric field.
- Two 1 μF capacitors are connected in series as shown on the schematic. What is the total capacitance of the circuit?
- Four capacitors are connected in a circuit as shown on the schematic. What is the equivalent capacitance of the circuit?
- Two 1 μF capacitors can be wired in parallel (left panel) or series (right panel). Suppose that either circuit can be charged with a 12 V battery by closing the switch. How much charge would each circuit store in its capacitor network?
