Question

Answer the following true or false. 1. Like charges repel each other, unlike charges attract. 2. The force between charges varies linearly with the distance between them. 3. For every positive charge created there is a negative charge created. 4. When an object is charged by induction the object inducing the charge makes contact with the object being charged. 5. The force on one charge equals the vector sum of the forces due to the individual charges that affect it. 6. The electric field at a point in space is the electric force on a tcs: charge at that point divided by the magnitude of the test charge. 7. The electric field is a scalar quantity. 8. Superposition is valid for the electric field. 9. Electric field lines begin on positive charges or at infinity and end on negative charges or at infinity. 10. Electric field 'lines around an isoiated point charge arc parallel. 11. Electric field lines between infinite flat plates with equal but opposite charge arc parallel. 12. The electric flux through a plane pcrpcndicular to the clectric field lines is zero. 13. The charge inside a closed surface is positive. The electric flux through the surface is negative. 14. The charge on an insulator will be distributed uniformly throughout its volume. 15. The charge on a conductor will be distributed uniformly throughout its volume. 16. The elcctric field inside a conductor in static equilibrium is always positive. 17. The electric potential inside a conductor in static equilibrium is constant. 18. As a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field its electric potential decreases.
