When a glass rod rubbed with silk acquires a
positive charge, the silk acquires
A. a positive charge
B. a negative charge
C. no charge
D. it is impossible to tell which sign of charge it acquires

B. a negative charge

25 coulombs of charge flow in 5 seconds. What is the current? 

To find current you use Q/t 

25C/5t= 5A

5A  

100

A protons electric field goes towards or away from the proton? 

TOWARDS 

100

What is a conductor, and what is an induction? 

+5 if you give examples 

In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object. The presence of a charged object near a neutral conductor will force (or induce) electrons within the conductor to move.

100

What is the formula for an electric field? 

E=f/q 

200

A rod with a positive charge is brought near a

positively charged pith ball. The pith ball is

suspended from an insulating string. The pith ball

A. will be attracted by the rod

B. will not be affected by the rod

C. will be repelled by the rod



C. will be repelled by the rod



200

A current of 18 amps flow through a current for 3 seconds. What is the charge?


 


I x t 

18A x 3s 

54C

200

Does gravitational force depend on masses? 

YES 

200

What is charging by induction? 

Mobility of charges on a conducting objective 

200

What is the charge of an electron?

-1.6x10-19

300

A charge -q is far away from a charge -Q which is

fixed in place. As -q moves closer to -Q, the work

done by the electric field is

A. negative.

B. Positive.

C. zero.



A. negative.




300

What is electrical current's formula? 

I=q/t 

300

What is weaker gravity or electrostatic force 

GRAVITY 


300

What is Polarization? 

why small bits of paper or styrofoam are
attracted to a charged object

300

Are electrons free to move in the insulating materials? 

Electrons are NOT free to move in insulating materials. 

400

The normal tendency of positive charges is to

A.  move to regions of lower electric potential

B.move to regions of higher electric potential

C. remain stationary in an electric field

D. move perpendicularly to electric field lines.



A. move to regions of lower electric potential



400

Coulombs law is? 


400

A typical, neutrally charged atom has

A. just as many electrons as protons. 

B. no neutrons in the nucleus. 

C. more protons than electrons. 

D. As many electrons as protons and neutrons combined. 


  at least 1 neutron. 

A. Just as many electrons as protons 

400

What is an electric dipole? 

The center of negative charge is slightly displaced from the center of positive charge. 

The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity

400

What is the law of conservation? 

Never can create an electric charge. Instead, charge can only move from one place to another. 
500

If the distance between two point charges is tripled

while the size of the charges remains the same, the

force between the charges is multiplied by

A. 9

B. 3

C. 1/3

D. 1/9.



D. 1/9

500

What is k in the Coulombs formula?

(9x10Nxm2/C)

500

If a negatively charged rod is brought close to (but not touching) an initially neutral object, the object becomes polarized and has ___________ charge.

NO CHARGE 

500

What is an Electric field? 

How one change affects the surrounding space, which exerts a force on another charge.
