Physics I – Exam 3 – Spring 2003 Answer Key Part A – 1. E, 2. C, 3. E, 4. F There are some partial credits allowed for the following wrong answers: 2. D = 2 points for knowing the field is perpendicular to equipotential lines. 3. A = 2 points for correct magnitude of KE change but wrong sign. 3. D = 2 points for correct sign of KE change but wrong magnitude. 4. E = 2 points for knowing F is not in the plane of v and B.

Analysis of the contributions from each charge reveals that V will be zero somewhere in Region II (between charges) and also in Region III. Only one is required for the question; either is OK.
