Question

Hey folks, these are a few questions I got wrong on my last test. Can anyone answer them correctly?

1) The electric field at the surface of an electric conductor is always:
a) parallel to the surface (my answer-incorrect)
b) perpendicular to the surface
c) can be in any direction
d) none of the above

2) Two point charges, A of mass m and charge Q, and B on mass m and charge 2Q, are placed on a frictionless surface. If charge A experiences an acceleration of a, what acceleration is experienced by B?
a) a
b) 2a (my answer-incorrect)
c) a/2
d) none of the above

3) to measure the current passing through a resistor, the ammeter and the resistor much be connected in:
a) series
b) parallel (my answer-incorrect)
c) either
d) none of the above

It's possible to have a question with more than one correct answer, though I don't think these have two possible answers. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Explanation / Answer

1) The electric field at the surface of an electric conductor is always:

b) perpendicular to the surface

2) Two point charges, A of mass m and charge Q, and B on mass m and charge 2Q, are placed on a frictionless surface. If charge A experiences an acceleration of a, what acceleration is experienced by B?
a) a
Since mass is same so acceleration must be same

3) to measure the current passing through a resistor, the ammeter and the resistor much be connected in:
a) series
