Just for Fun (maybe)
100
This is the positively charged part of an atom.
What is the proton?
100
The process of charging one thing by way of directly transferring or picking up electrons.
What is charging by conduction?
100
This law describes the force of an electric charge.
What is Coulomb's Law?
100
These two values are used to calculate the electric field strength.
What are the electric Force and charge of a small test charge?
100
This is the unit of charge.
What is a Coulomb?
200
This is a word to describe when two objects "pull together".
What is attract?
200
This scientist determined the charge of an electron.
Who is Millikan?
200
This equation is used to calculate electric force.
What is F=kq1q2/r^2 ?
200
This is the region where a test charge experiences and electric force.
What is an electric field?
200
The law of gravitation is similar to Coulomb's law in this way.
What is they both involve a constant, investigate force between two objects, and depend on the inverse square of the distance?
300
This is the negative part of an atom.
What is an electron.
300
This is what causes two objects to be attracted to each other.
What is an imbalance of electrons or oppositely charged?
300
A vector quantity has these two components.
What are direction and magnitude?
300
The number of electric field lines is proportional to this.
What is the electric field strength?
300
This is the Force exerted on a 19.9 C charge by an electric field of 4.54 x10^-4 N/C.
What is 9.03 x 10^-3 N?
400
These allow the flow of electricity through them.
What is a conductor?
400
This is what causes two objects to repel each other.
What is both objects have the same charge?
400
The Force would be affected by this factor if each charge was doubled and the distance was cut in half.
What is a factor of 16?
400
These do not actually exist, they are only used to visualize and analyze the electric field.
What are electric field lines?
400
Rubber and wood are an example of this.
What is an insulator.
500
This is the word we use to describe sending extra electrons through a conductor into the earth.
What is grounding?
500
These are the three properties of electric charge.
What are two different types, has a value, and charge is conserved?
500
This is the distance between two point charges (60 micro Coulombs and 50 micro Coulombs) that have a Force of 175 N.
What is 0.393 m?
500
These wold be the differences noted when drawing electric filed lines between charges( a +q and a -3q ) separated by a small distance.
What is lines leave +q and there are more lines coming into -3q?
500
The value is 8.99x10^9 Nm^2/C^2.
