300

What type of relationship is used to describe frequency and wavelength?

Hint! This is also used to describe the relationship between force and distance between charges

An inverse proportional relationship

300

Describe the difference between a parallel and series circuit.

400

This law quantifies the strength of an electric field with respect to distance.

Coulomb's Law

400

DOUBLE POINTS

This scientist is famous for developing laws that explain phenomena related to Voltage in a circuit, and Current at a single point.

Gustav Kirchoff

400

A toy requires 10 amps of current to function properly. The toy's internal circuit uses a battery that provides 20 volts of energy and a resistor that has a resistance of 5 Ohms. Does this circuit provide enough current to sustain power to the toy?

No

I = V/R

I = 20/5 = 4A < 10A

400

If a 10V battery is connected to only a wire and no resistors, what risk are you running by not adding any resistance to the circuit?

A short circuit caused by overcharging of the battery.

400

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

A. 3.00 x 10^8 m/s

B. 6.7 x 10^4 m/s

C. 1.254 x 10^10 m/s

D. 3.22 x 10^7 m/s

A. 3.00 x 10^8 m/s

500

The distance between two charged objects is quadrupled. How is the electrostatic force between them changed?

It decreases by a factor of 16

500

This type of electron is what allows for the flow of current through a conductor

Free Electrons

500

Why do we have to be aware of ionizing radiation? (Explain what happens at a microscopic level)

It disrupts electrons and removes them from their orbitals which leads to chemical imbalances in your cells leading to damage or mutations.
