D
the electric force between two charges is ______ to the square of the distance between them a) not related b) equal c) directly proportional d) inversely proportional
D
when wool and plastic are touched together, the plastic becomes a) positively charged because it loses electrons to the wool b) negatively charged because it loses electrons to the wool c) positively charged because it gains electrons from the wool d) negatively charged because it gains electrons from the wool
D
insulator
a material that does not allow for electricity to flow through it easily
question 5
away from out positive toward negative
question 9/10
electrons are the only particle that moves a negative charge leads to a gain in electrons
question 1
electroscope charge of rod knob is going opposite of rod leaves are going to be the same charge of rod
question 8
electroscope positive change remain positive b) near d) touching
question 7
electrostatic force columb's law (see procedures above)
question 2
if a rod becomes positive it loses electrons if a rod becomes negative it gains electrons electrons are the only thing that moves
conductor
material that allows electricity to easily flow through it
columb's law calculator procedures
multiply coefficients multiply exponents move exponent enough for significant figures divide (look for different sign answers, hopefully nothing terrible)
Q 2, 3, 9, 10
unlike charges attract like charges repel only electron move plus away minus inward
question 6
unlike charges attract like charges repel look at the way the arrows go
question 4
what would it take to double the force from columb's law equation radius/distance
test is going to contain
10 mcq like test review 2 definitions: conductor and insulator (defined in next cards) 3 problems columb's law (see procedures card above) reading paragraph 13 study guide mcqs (all in here)
