Phyiscs Static Electricity Test 2023

Front

How does distance between charges affect electrostatic force?

Back

Greater distance will weaken the force.

Front

What is the correct application for an electroscope?

Back

To detect the presence of electric charge.

Front

How can a neutral object become charged?

Back

By having electrons added or removed.

Front

What is the effect of distance on the electric force between two charges?

Back

Increasing the distance decreases the force.

Front

Charges cannot be created or destroyed. True or False?

Back

True.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of objects.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of charge?

Back

The total electric charge in an isolated system remains constant.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electric charges to flow freely.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric charges to flow easily.

Front

What is the unit of electric charge?

Back

The unit of electric charge is the Coulomb (C).
