21. You are given two identical plano-convex lenses, one of which is shown to the right. When you place an object 20 cm to the left of a single plano-convex lens, the image appears 40 cm to the right of the lens. You then arrange the two plano-convex lenses back to back to form a double convex lens.
If the object is 20 cm to the left of this new lens, what is the approximate location of the image?
A. 6.7 cm to the right of the lens.
B. 10 cm to the right of the lens.
C. 20 cm to the right of the lens.
D. 80 cm to the right of the lens.
E. 80 cm to the left of the lens.
22. Positive charge Q is uniformly distributed over a ring of radius
a
that lies in the y-z plane as shown in the diagram.
The ring is centered at the origin. Which of the following graphs best represents the value of the electric field

C
D
E
23. Four point charges are placed at the corners of a square with diagonal
2a
as shown in the diagram.

A. kq/a² at an angle 45º above the +x axis.
B. kq/a² at an angle 45º below the -x axis.
C. 3 kq/a² at an angle 45º above the -x axis.
D. 3 kq/a² at an angle 45º below the +x axis.
E. 9 kq/a² at an angle 45º above the +x axis.
Both questions 24 and 25 refer to the system shown in the diagram.
A spherical shell with an inner surface of radius

-q
distributed after it has reached equilibrium?
A. Zero charge on the inner surface, -q charge on the outer surface
B. -Q on the inner surface, -q on the outer surface.
C. -Q on the inner surface, (-q + Q) on the outer surface.
D. +Q on the inner surface, (-q - Q) on the outer surface.
E. The charge -q is spread uniformly between the inner and outer surface.
25. Assume that the electrostatic potential is zero at an infinite distance from the spherical shell. What is the electrostatic potential at a distance
R
from the center of the shell, where b > R > a?
A
B
C
D
E

A. none would read zero.
B. only V
2
C. only V
3
and V
4
D. only V
3
, V
4
, and V
5
E. they would all read zero
27. If B
2
were to burn out, opening the circuit, what would happen to the reading of V
1
? Let V be its original reading when all bulbs are functioning and let V' be its reading when B
2
is burnt out.
A. V' > 2V
B. 2V > V' > V
C. V' = V
D. V > V' > V/2
E. V/2 > V'
28. A particle with positive charge

R
with frequency What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
A
B
C
D
E
29. Two wires, each carrying a current
i
, are shown in the diagram below.
