Electricity and Static Electricity Quiz

What is static electricity?

• The force between charged particles

• The imbalance of positive and negative electric charge

• The movement of free electrons in an atom

• The flow of electric charge through a conductor

What happens when two pieces of tape that are both stuck to a table are ripped off and then stuck together?

• They create a static shock

• They attract each other

• They remain neutral

• They repel each other

What is the difference between charging by friction and charging by contact?

• Charging by friction involves rubbing two objects together, while charging by contact involves touching two objects together

• Charging by friction involves touching two objects together, while charging by contact involves rubbing two objects together

• Charging by friction creates a negative charge, while charging by contact creates a positive charge

• Charging by friction creates a positive charge, while charging by contact creates a negative charge

What is the law of conservation of electric charge?

• Charge can be created or destroyed

• Charge can only move from one place to another

• Charge can only be transferred through contact

• Charge can only be transferred through friction

What is the process of charging by induction?

• Creating a net charge without contacting another object

• Creating a net charge by touching two objects together

• Creating a net charge by rubbing two objects together

• Creating a net charge by grounding an object

What happens when a charged object is connected to the ground?

• The charge is transferred from the ground to the object, making it more charged

• The charge is transferred to the ground, increasing the object's charge

• The charge is transferred from the ground to the object, decreasing its charge

• The charge is transferred to the ground, making the object neutral

What is the unit used to measure electric charge?

• Newton

• Watt

• Joule

• Coulomb

What is the charge of a single electron?

• Neutral

• Negative

• Positive

• Variable

What is the force between two charged particles calculated using?

• Faraday's Law

• Ohm's Law

• Newton's Law

• Coulomb's Law

What happens when the distance between two charged particles doubles?

• The force between them quadruples

• The force between them doubles

• The force between them halves

• The force between them reduces to a quarter
