• Electric Force

• Electric Field

• Electricity

• Attract and Repel

Multiple Choice

The electric field surrounding a positively charged object is

• Away from the charge
• Toward the charge

Multiple Choice

What happens to the field strength as the distance between two charged objects decreases?

• the strength stays the same

• the strength increases

• the strength decreases

• the strength fluctuates between positive and negative

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the electric fields in the image?

• The charges are neutral.

• Both charges are negative, so the field lines are alike.

• The field lines move toward a positive charge and away from a negative charge.

• The field lines move away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge.

Multiple Choice

The electrical force between charges is strongest when the charges are

• close together
• far apart
•  the electric force is constant everywhere.
• there is no pattern

Multiple Choice

At which point is the electric field the strongest

• A
• B
• C
• D

Multiple Choice

At which point is the electric field the weakest?

• A because it is the furthest away
• A because the field lines are further apart
• C because the field lines are further apart
• C  because it is the furthest away

Multiple Choice
