true or false onceptual physics 2 questions from chapters 23 and 24.

1. [ ] Although one can electrify a glass rod by rubbing it with silk, no net charge is created.

2. [ ] A proton carries positive charge, and weights the same as an electron.

3. [ ] The elementary charge equals 1.6 x 10-9 C.

4. [ ] At any point P, the total electric field due to a group of point charges equals the vector sum of the electric fields of the individual charges.

5. [ ] Electric field vector is tangent to the electric field line at each point.

6. [ ] No two electric field lines can cross or touch.

7. [ ] The force on a negative charge is in the opposite direction of the electric field.

8. [ ] Electric flux can be understood as the number of electric field lines passing through a surface.

9. [ ] Gauss's law states that the net electric flux E through any closed Gaussian surface is equal to the net charge inside the surface divided by 40.

10. [ ] Gauss's law is useful for calculating electric field when the charge distribution is highly symmetrical.

11. [ ] At electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field is zero everywhere inside a conductor, and any charge can only be distributed on the surface of the conductor.

12. [ ] Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface and has a magnitude /20.

Explanation / Answer

1) true there is no net creation of charge. it's just being transfered.

2)false proton is heavier than electron.

3) true this is a fact " The elementary charge equals 1.6 x 10-9 C." which equals charge on an electron

4)true electric field is a vector quantity so vector rules are aplicable
