Electrostatics

Question 1

Insulators

Answer 1

do not easily distribute a charge over its surface and do not transfer a charge to another neutral object well

Question 2

Conductor

Answer 2

charges will distribute approximately even upon the surface and are able to transfer and transport charges

Question 3

Coulomb’s Law Definition and Equation

Answer 3

quantifies the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges

F = kq1q2 / r^2

Question 4

In an Electric field a positive point charge will ______ and a negative point charge will _____

Answer 4

move in the same direction as the field

move in the opposite direction as the field

Question 5

Electrical Potential Equaiton

Answer 5

U = kQq / r

or V = U/q

Question 6

Voltage Equation

Answer 6

ΔV = W/q = kQ/r

Question 7

Force on a Moving Charge Equation

Answer 7

F = qvBsin theta

Question 8

If the charge is moving parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field the force it will experience is:

Answer 8

no force
