Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Consider the electric field shown below:
This is a physically possible static electric field (that is, we can calculate a well-defined potential difference between any two points in this field).
2. Consider the electric field shown below:
(This hypothetical field is uniform to the left of the boundary shown and zero to the right of that boundary.) This is a physically possible static electric field (that is, we can calculate a well-defined potential difference between any two points in this field)

In Ptolemy's theory, retrograde planetary motion is explained as
A) the backward part of the planet's loop-the-loop orbits around Earth. B) due to the back-and-forth or "oscillatory" motion that planets make as they move along their circular orbits around Earth. C) due to the natural wandering of the celestial sphere of background stars. D) a result of Earth's motion: as Earth passes another planet, that planet appears to move backward as seen against the background stars. E) Actually he didn't have an explanation for this.
