Question 1:
which subatomic particle has a negative charge?
Answer:
Electron
Explanation:
There are three subatomic particles
electron, neutron and proton
out of all electron is negatively charged, proton is positively charged while neutron is a neutral particle
Question 2:
if an atom has 2 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons, what is the electrical charge of the atom?
Answer:
Negative
Explanation:
As we know that
so it is negatively charged
Question 3:
A neutral atom that gains electrons will have what kind of charge?
Answer:
Negative
Explanation:
Since electron is a negatively charged particle so on gaining an electron it will get negative charge
Question 4:
which of the following describes the principle of the conservation of charge?
Answer:
Charge cannot be created or destroyed, just transferred
Explanation:
charge can transfer from one atom to other atom but we can not create a charge or we can not destroy a charge
Question 5:
what law states that when there is an interaction between charged objects there is a non-contact force which acts over some distance of seperation?
Answer:
Coulomb's law
Explanation:
Coulombs law gives the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges which is given as
Question 6:
which of the following describes an insulator?
Answer:
Does not allow electrons to move through it
Explanation:
in insulators all the charges are bounded and not free to move
Question 7:
what are most conductors made of?
Answer:
Metal
Explanation:
All conductors are source of free electrons in which they can move freely
Question 8:
which of the following describes why lightening rods are put on top of houses?
Answer:
conduct the lightening away from the house
Explanation:
lightening rod gives the path to excess charge to flow towards ground
Question 9:
your computer is powered by which of the following?
Answer:
Electrical current
Explanation:
All electrical device is powered by current source
Question 10:
wire is used to attach a battery to a penny and is then used to light a small light bulb. the light bulb is lit due to which of the following?
Answer:
