The direction of an electric field is the direction of the force that it would exert on:

a proton.

The unit of electric charge, the Coulomb, is the charge on:

a specific large number of electrons.

To say that electric charge is conserved is to say that electric charge:

cannot be created nor destroyed.

The force fundamental to all chemical reactions is:

electrical.

To say that electric charge is quantized is to say that the charge on an object:

is a whole-number multiple of the charge of one electron.

The electric field inside the dome of a Van de Graaff generator depends on:

neither the amount of charge on it nor its size.

The net charge on a charged capacitor depends on:

nothing - the net charge is zero.

Strip electrons from an atom and it becomes a:

positive ion.

A negatively charged rod is brought near a metal can that rests on a wood table. You touch the opposite side of the can momentarily with your finger. The can is then:

positively charged.
