Document Summary

Both premises are universal and conclusion is particular. If there is one negative premise, the conclusion must be negative. Fallacy of drawing an affirmative conclusion from a negative premise. A. k. a. fallacy of aff con from neg prem. These are the ones that are easier to spot. The middle term has to be distributed in at least one premise. If any term in the conclusion is disturbed, it must have been distributed in its premise. Illicit process of the major term (illicit major)

consider a thin plastic rod bent into an arc of radius R andanglealpa. The rod carries a uniformly negative charge -Q.
what are the components Ex and Ey of the electric field attheorigin? Follow the standard four steps.
A) use a diagram to explain how you will cut up the chargedrod, anddraw the change of E contributed by a representativepiece.
B) Express algerbrically the contribution each piecemakes to the xand y components of the electric field. Be sureto show yourintegration variable and its origin on your drawing.(Hinnt: an arcof radius R and angle change of theta measured inradians has alength R*change of theta.)
C) Write the summation as an integral, and simplify theintegrationas much as possible. State explicitlythe range ofyour integrationvariable. Evaluate the integral.
D) Show that your result is reasonable. Apply as manytests as youcan think of.

(b) Like charges repel one another and unlike charges attract oneanother.
(c) A positive charge will gain kinetic energy as it approaches anegative charge.
(d) The work required to bring two charges together is independentof the path taken.
(e) A negative charge will gain kinetic energy as it moves awayfrom another negative charge.

 Four point charges with equal magnitude q are placed at the corners of a square, with a distance from each corner to the center of the square a. Two of the charges are positive, and one of the them in negative, as shown below. A fifth charge Q is then brought from far away to the center of the square.

(a) By how much does the potential energy of the system change when the charge Q is brought to the center of the squre? Your answer should be in terms of a,q,Q, and fundamentalconstants.

(b) After it is borught to the center of the square, what is the force (magnitude and direction) on the charge Q? Your answer should be in terms of a,q,Q, and fundamental constants.
