  2. Two large parallel sheets of charge are separated by a distance d , small compared to the size of the sheets. The distance d is small enough that the sheets can be treated as if they were infinite in extent. Where do you expect the E field to point at the position A? • It should point to the left. • It should be essentially 0. • It should point to the right. A C B NEXUS/Physics Clicker Questions

  10. Cap #1 is charged by connecting it to a battery. Cap #2 is not charged.C#1 is disconnected from the battery and connected to C#2. How does the magnitude of the E field in C#1 change? • Stays the same • Bigger by ~X2 • Bigger but not by ~X2 • Smaller by ~X2 • Smaller but not by ~X2 • Can’t tell NEXUS/Physics Clicker Questions
