Electric Charge and Forces Quiz

What defines electric charge?

• A fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative

• A type of electrical current

• A kind of energy

• A form of resistance

What is the relationship between electric force and the size of charged objects?

• They are inversely proportional

• They are directly proportional

• There is no relationship

• It varies with the surrounding medium

How does the distance between two charges influence the electric force?

• Closer charges repel each other

• Greater distance results in a stronger force

• Greater distance results in a weaker force

• Distance has no impact

What is meant by an electric field?

• The area surrounding a charged object where it can exert influence on other charges

• A measure of resistance in a circuit

• The energy generated by electric charges

• A type of electrical current

How does friction contribute to the generation of static electricity?

• By producing heat

• By transferring electrons between materials

• By boosting voltage

• By decreasing resistance

What occurs to the charge of an object when it contacts a charged object?

• It gains mass

• It loses its charge

• It may gain or lose charge

• It becomes neutral

What does the term induction refer to in static electricity?

• Charging through direct contact

• Charging without direct contact

• A technique for measuring charge

• A type of dynamic electricity

What is meant by charge conservation?

• Charge can be created or destroyed

• The total charge remains unchanged in interactions

• Charge is exclusively negative

• Charge can only be positive

How does a static discharge happen?

• Through a closed circuit

• By touching a doorknob after walking on a carpet

• Through induction

• By adding more charge

What does dynamic electricity refer to?

• The flow of electric charges through a conductor

• A form of static electricity

• A measurement of electric field intensity

• A means of energy storage
