Charge and Static Electricity Quiz

What is can charge described as?

• A fundamental property of nature

• A rare property of nature

• A man-made concept

• A chemical property

Objects with charge can exert a force on:

• Only positive objects

• Only negative objects

• Only neutral objects

• Other objects with charge

Can objects with charge induce a change in neutral objects?

• Yes, and exert a force on them

• No, they cannot interact with neutral objects

• Yes, but they cannot exert a force on them

• No, they can only repel neutral objects

What types of charge can objects have?

• Positive only

• Negative only

• Positive, negative, or neutral

• Positive and negative, but not neutral

What is the formula for charge in terms of current and time?

• Q = I + t

• Q = I/t

• Q = It

• Q = I - t

What are the SI units of charge?

• Coulombs (C)

• Amps (A)

• Seconds (s)

• Joules (J)

How is the coulomb (C) defined in terms of amps and seconds?

• C = A + s

• C = A/s

• C = A - s

• C = A s

What allows conductors to let electrical current flow through them?

• They contain delocalised electrons

• They are made of non-metals

• They have a fixed structure

• They do not contain electrons

Which of the following are considered conductors?

• Metals and plastic

• Wood and graphite

• Metals and graphite

• Glass and rubber

Why are insulators not able to conduct electrical current?

• They have delocalised electrons

• They contain metal ions

• They do not contain delocalised electrons

• They allow electrical current to flow through them
