- volt
- ampere
- coulomb
- ohm
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. coulomb
Charge is measured in coulombs (C). 1 C = 1 A·s.
The fundamental unit of charge is e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (proton/electron magnitude).

Worked practice questions
Number of charges that can be enclosed in a Gaussian surface in vacuum:
- 1
- Up to 10
- Any number
- Zero
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Any number
Gauss's law works for ANY closed surface enclosing any amount of charge.
The total flux equals q_total/ε₀ regardless of how the charges are distributed inside (point, line, sphere, etc.).
For a spherical conductor of radius R carrying charge Q, the potential AT THE SURFACE equals:
- 0
- kQ/R²
- kQ/R
- 2kQ/R
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. kQ/R
V_surface = kQ/R. Same as the field at the surface times R. Note: potential INSIDE a conductor is uniform = surface value; field inside = 0.
