No if you're second you win $2,000.

Let's say the category is Nuclear Physics.

Well I know sweet bugger all about that. If I was in second should I risk it all in hopes that I luck into the right answer? Or, bet little to none, hope that the person in first wagers a ton and gets it wrong?

I don't actually know the 'correct' strategy there. Mind you when I play the Jeopardy app on my phone, unless I'm in a runaway position I bet it all everytime.
