Strength of Electrical Forces Quick Check
Question 1: A student observes interactions between two sets of electrically charged objects. In each set, the objects carry either a charge of –1 or +1 Coulomb. Which question can the student ask to identify the set with the stronger interaction?
answer: How far apart are the objects in each interaction?
question 2: Object A has a charge of –1 Coulomb. At a given distance, the object with which charge would be most strongly attracted by object A?
answer: +2 C
question 3: An object with a charge of +1 C is 10 mm from an object with a charge of +1 C. Based on the data in the table, which type and amount of electrical force will there most likely be between the two objects?
answer: repulsive, weak
question 4: How does the magnitude of the electrical charge on objects affect the electric force between them?
answer: As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.
For connexus kids is right I got a 100%
For connexus kids is right I got a 100% thank you
From question 4, As the charge increases, the force increases in strength. Was the correct answer I was given.
HUGE THANKS!
Correct :)
Connexus kid is right. I used him
This is correct thank you! By the way if you are going to take this answer make sure and stay on the assignment for 10 or 15 minutes so it looks like you did it :)
OMG TYSM I MADE 100!!! (connexus kid)
To determine the set with the stronger interaction between two sets of electrically charged objects, the student can ask the question, "How far apart are the objects in each interaction?" The strength of the electrical force decreases with increasing distance between the charged objects. Therefore, if one set of objects has a smaller distance between them compared to the other set, it indicates a stronger interaction.
For question 2, to identify the object that would be most strongly attracted to object A, you would look for the charge that is opposite in sign to object A's charge. In this case, object A has a charge of -1 Coulomb, so the object with a charge of +2 Coulomb would be most strongly attracted to it. Opposite charges attract each other.
Question 3 presents a scenario where an object with a charge of +1 Coulomb is 10 mm away from another object with a charge of +1 Coulomb. Based on the given data, the most likely interaction between the two objects would be repulsive and weak. Like charges (both positive or both negative) repel each other. Since the objects have the same charge, the interaction would be repulsive. The interaction is likely weak because the given distance (10 mm) is relatively small, so the strength of the repulsive force between the objects would be weak.
Regarding question 4, the magnitude of the electrical charge on objects directly affects the electric force between them. As the charge increases, the force between the objects also increases in strength. The electric force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the electrical charge. Therefore, if the charge increases, the force will also increase, and vice versa.
