  1. After being released from rest in a uniform electric field, explain whether a proton will move:
    1. a) in the same direction as the electric field, or b)opposite the direction of the electric field to regions of
    2. a) higher, or b) lower electric potential.
    3. What about an electron?
  2. Explain why, under static conditions, all points in a conductor must be at the same electric potential.
  3. If you were asked to design a capacitor in which small size and large capacitance were required, what would be the two most important factors in your design?
  4. Explain why a dielectric increases the maximum operating voltage of a capacitor even though the physical size of the capacitor doesn't change.
