What is the relationship between gravitational/electric forces and distance?

Back

Gravitational and electric forces increase in magnitude as the separation between the masses or charges decreases.

Front

Explain the concept of series circuit.

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so current flows through each component.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, while convection is heat transfer through fluid movement.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant.
