Are electric fields made of material particles such as atoms, and how do we know?
A) Yes, because electric fields have energy and all forms of energy are associated with material particles.
B) No, because electromagnetic waves are able to cross regions of empty space containing no material particles.
C) Yes, because the forces exerted by electric fields are always exerted on material particles such as atoms.
D) No, because electric fields are observed to exist even within protons, and protons are not material particles.
E) Yes, because everything is made of atoms.
B

Rotational Kinetic Energy: An Atwood machine consists of a mass of 3.5 kg connected by a light string to a mass of 6.0 kg over a frictionless pulley with a moment of inertia of 0.0352 kg ? m2 and a radius of 12.5 cm. If the system is released from rest, what is the speed of the masses after they have moved through 1.25 m if the string does not slip on the pulley?
A. 2.0 m/s B. 2.3 m/s C. 4.0 m/s D. 5.0 m/s E. 6.0 m/s

Faraday's Law: As shown in the figure, a wire and a 10-? resistor are used to form a circuit in the shape of a square with dimensions 20 cm by 20 cm. A uniform but non-steady magnetic field is directed into the plane of the circuit. The magnitude of the magnetic field is steadily decreased from 2.70 T to 0.90 T in a time interval of 96 ms. What is the induced current in the circuit, and what is its direction through the resistor?
A. 75 mA, from b to a B. 45 mA, from b to a C. 75 mA, from a to b D. 45 mA, from a to b E. 110 mA, from a to b
