Point charges of equal magnitudes (25 nC) and opposite signs are placed on (diagonally) opposite corners of a 60-cm  80-cm rectangle. If point A is the corner of this rectangle nearest the positive charge and point B is located at the intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle, determine the potential difference, VB - VA.
 a. -47 V
  b. +94 V
  c. zero
  d. -94 V
  e. +47 V

Question 2

An alpha particle (m = 6.7  10-27 kg, q = +3.2  10-19 C) has a speed of 20 km/s at point A and moves to point B where it momentarily stops. Only electric forces act on the particle during this motion. Determine the electric potential difference VA - VB.
 a. +4.2 V
  b. -4.2 V
  c. -9.4 V
  d. +9.4 V
  e. -8.4 V

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
