They are very useful for looking at phenomena
They help create mental pictures
All of the above
What are the three parts of atoms?
Nucleus, neutral, and proatom
Neutron, Protons, elections
Neutral, positive, negative
Ion, negatron, proton
What are the two kinds of charged particles in atoms and what is their charge? (Choose two answers)

Electron (negative)
What does the law of electric charges say about two objects that each have a positive charge?
Objects with the same charge have no effect on each other
Objects with the same charge attract each other
Objects with the same charge repel each other
Objects with the same charge both attract and repel each other
What does the law of electric charges say about two charges in which one is a negative charge and the other is a positive charge?
Objects with opposite charges have no effect on each other
Objects with opposite charges attract each other
Objects with opposite charges repel each other
Objects with opposite charges both attract and repel each other
What does the law of electric charges say about two charges in which one is positive and the other is neutral?
Charged objects and neutral objects have no effect on each other
Charged objects always shock and electrocute neutral objects
Charged objects repel neutral objects
Charged objects attract neutral objects
What is a neutral atom and how does it become charged?
A neutral atoms has no charge to it
A neutral atom is neither positive nor negative
A neutral atom becomes charged by gaining or losing electrons
All of these responses
Two charged objects that are near each other create a force on each other. There are two things that make an electric force stronger. Choose the two answer below that make an electric force stronger
The amount of charge on the object. The larger the charge, the larger the force
The amount of charge on the object. The larger the charge, the smaller the force
The distance between the charges. The closer together the charges are, the larger the force
The distance between the charges. The closer together the charges are, the smaller the force
Two charged objects repel each other and start to move farther away. What happens to the elctric force on both objects as they move farther away?
Nothing
The force between them gets stronger, pushing them harder the further apart they are
The force between them gets weaker; the electric force gets smaller as they get further away
The force between them never changes
What is the name of the region that is around all charged objects? That pushes or pulls another charged object?
Electric space
Electric track
Electric field
Electric area
What are arrows or vectors (in relation to electric charges)?
They point at something
They are two completely different things
They represent the forces on objects placed in an electric field
They represent electricity in an electric field
Which way do electric fields point to for negatively charged objects?
Toward negatively charged objects
Away from negatively charged objects
Which way do electric fields point to for positively charged objects?
Toward positively charged objects
Away from positively charged objects
When you take your clothes out from the dryer, sometimes there is static electricity on the clothes. This is caused by:
Induction
Conduction
Friction
None of the above
An example of this type of charging is like when the hair on the wig stands up when it is placed on the Van de Graaff generator when it is turned on:
Induction
Conduction
Friction
None of the above
An example of this type of charging is like when you have socks on and rub them on carpet, building up a charge
Friction
Conduction
Induction
None of these
This type of charging occurs without the two objects touching.
Friction
Conduction
Induction
None of these
This type of charging occurs when two things are rubbed together because when this happens, electrons from one objects are rubbed off to the other. This usually makes one object positive and the other negative
Friction
Conduction
Induction
None of these
True or False. Static charge is the buildup of charge in an object and staying there
True
False
True or False. Objects tend to be neutral. They can become charged by gaining or losing protons
True
False
True or False. Objects want to hold a charge for as long as they can because objects don't want to be neutral.
True
False
True or False. When objects do release this charge, this is called static discharge, which can occur with sparks or lightening.
True
False
Examples of this type of material include plastic, rubber, and glass.
Conductor
Insulator
Neither
Examples of this type of material include metals like aluminum, copper, and silver
Conductor
Insulator
Neither
This type of material allows for the easy flow of electricity
Conductor
Insulator
This type of material resists the flow of electrons, thus resists the flow of electricity.
Conductor
Insulator
Neither
What kind of charges does each object have?
Both are negatively charged
Both are positively charged
A is positively charged, and B is negatively charged
A is negatively charged and B is positively charged
At which point is the electric filed around the positive charge the strongest?
Point A
Point B
Point C
They will all have the same electric force
At which point is the electric filed around the positive charge the weakest?
Point A

Two positively charged objects (Object A and Object B) are 8 inches apart. When a positively charged ball is hung at an equal distance between the two positively charged objects, the ball moves toward Object B (see picture ). What can you conclude about the relative amount of positive charge on Object A and Object B?
Object A has more change than Object B
Object B has more charge than Object A
The two positive charges just cause a ringing bell phenomenon because they both push on it equally
Look at the picture. Your physics teacher has prepared the room for the class's entry by suspending several inflated balloons from the ceiling.

both balloons are charged with the same type of charge
Both balloons are charged with the opposite type of charge
Only one of the balloons is charged; the other is neutral
At least one of the balloons is charged; the other is either neutral or charged
