QUESTION 1
a) Define International System of Units (SI), give the classifications of units with two
examples each.
b) Define fundamental Quantities, Fundamental Units, and Give 5 examples of Fundamental
Quantities, SI unit and their symbols.
c) Define Derived Quantities, Derived Units, and Give 5 examples of Derived Quantities, SI
unit and their symbols.
d) What is an error? List 3 types of errors and list the common Systematic errors
QUESTION 2
a) Define the following terms.
i. A field
ii. An Electromagnetic field
b) List 5 common sources of Electromagnetic fields and 3 effects of Electromagnetic field
QUESTION 3
a) Check the divergence theorem using the function.
v= y 2 x^ + ( 2 xy+ z2 ) ^y +(2 yz ) z^
and a unit cube at the origin
Solution
In this case
V . v=2 ( x+ y ) ,
And
❑ 1 1 1
∫ 2 ( x + y ) dτ=2∫∫∫ ( x+ y ) dx dy dz
v 0 0 0

0 0
( )
∫ ( x + y ) dx= 12 + y , ∫ 12 + y dy =1 ,∫ 1 dz=1 ,
0
Thus

∫ V . v dτ=2
v
QUESTION 4
So much for the left of the divergence theorem. To evaluate the surface integral, we must
consider separately the six faces of the cube:

∮ v . d a= 3 − 3 + 3 − 3 + 1−0=2 ,
As expected,
Find the electric field a distance z above the midpoint between two equal charges (q), a distance
d apart.
Solution
Let E1 be the field of the left charge alone and E2 that of the right charge alone. Adding them
(vectorially), the horizontal components cancel, and the vertical component conspire:
1 q
E z=2 cos θ
4 π ϵ 0 r2
Check: when z ≫ d you’re so far away that it just looks like a single charge 2q, so the
1 2q
field should reduce to E = 4 π ϵ 2 z^ . And it does (just set d → 0 in the formular).
0 z
