1. Which of the following statements about electric charge is true?
Electric charge is created or destroyed during charging.
The elementary charge is the charge of a neutron.
Like charges attract, and opposite charges repel.
Electric charge is quantized, meaning it exists in discrete units.
2. Coulomb's Law describes the force between two point charges. How does this force change if the distance between the charges is doubled?
The force is halved.
The force is doubled.
The force is quartered.
The force is quadrupled.
3. The process of charging an object by bringing it near another charged object without direct contact is called .
4. A material that allows electric charge to move freely through it is known as a(n) .
5. The unit of electric charge is the .
6. An object with an equal number of protons and electrons is considered electrically neutral.
