Directions: Write "Potential" if the statement is true, if it is false write"Electric" and change the underlined word/phrase to make the statementtrue (e.g. Electric-work done).1. A positive charge accelerates from a region of higher electricpotential toward a region of lower electric potential.2. Volt is used as the unit for electric potential to honor the scientistwho discovers it. The name of this scientist is Charles Voltaire.3. Electric potential energy and electric potential have the sameunit which is expressed in volts.4. Electric force is associated with potential energy and is aconservative force.5. The potential difference between two points is measured in voltsand is often referred to as a voltage.

In different experimental trials, an electron, a proton, or a doubly charged oxygen atom (O--), is fired within a vacuum tube. The particle's trajectory carries it through a point where the electric potential is 40.0 V and then through a point at a different potential. Rank each of the following cases according to the change in kinetic energy of the particle over this part of its flight from the largest increase to the largest decrease in kinetic energy. In your ranking, display any cases of equality, (a) An electron moves from 40.0 V to 60.0 V. (b) An electron moves front 40.0 V to 20.0 V. (c) A proton moves from 40.0 V to 20.0 V'.

In Franklins time, a device for storing electric potential energy was called a Leyden jar. Today, we call that device a capacitor. Another term that is sometimes used is condenser. What ideas do these three terms bring to mind? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
How much work is done (by a battery, generator, or some other source of potential difference) in moving Avogadros number of electrons from an initial point where the electric potential is 9.00 V to a point where the electric potential is 5.00 V? (The potential in each case is measured relative to a common reference point.)
CASE STUDY Concept Exercise 27.1 (page 829), we ignored air resistance acting on the ring launched by the experimenters in the case study. How would including air resistance change your answer to the question about the size of the spring? Does air resistance require that more, less, or the same amount of electric potential energy be stored in the spring? Explain your answers.
