Integrated Science Final Exam Semester 1 Review

Front

What is an electric field?

Back

An electric field is a region around a charged object where other charged objects experience a force.

Front

How do electric field lines behave around a negatively charged object?

Back

Electric field lines point towards the negatively charged object, indicating the direction of the force on a positive test charge.

Front

What does the electric field around a neutral object look like?

Back

There are no electric field lines around a neutral object.

Front

What is a dipole in physics?

Back

A dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as weight = mass × gravitational acceleration.

Front

Where is weight greatest for an object?

Back

Weight is greatest on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to other celestial bodies.

Front

What is the direction of magnetic field lines?

Back

Magnetic field lines point from the north pole to the south pole of a magnet.

Front

What happens to the electric field strength as you move away from a charged object?

Back

The electric field strength decreases as the distance from the charged object increases.

Front

What is the significance of the direction of electric field lines?

Back

The direction of electric field lines indicates the direction of the force that a positive test charge would experience.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
