The force between the south pole of one magnet and the south pole of another magnet is measured. If the distance between those magnets is suddenly doubled, how will the new force compare with the old one?

The force will decrease by a factor of 4

The force will decrease by a factor of 2

The force will increase by a factor of 2

The force will increase by a factor of 4

A physicist charges an object with a positively charged rod. If the object develops a negative charge, how did the physicist charge the object?

The object was charged by induction

The object was charged by conduction

Physical Science Module Quizzes & Trivia

Physics is just as important a realm of science as any other, as it deals with the rather significant topics of motion, matter, force, energy and behaviour through space and time. What can you tell us about it?

Questions and Answers

Physical Science Module 12

A PROTON is a small "package" of light that acts like a particle.

Charging an object by allowing it to come into contact with an object that already has an electrical charge is called:

Charging an object without direct contact between the object and a charge is called:

The amount of charge that travels past a fixed point in an electric circuit each second is called:

Current that flows from the positive side of the battery to the negative side is called: (This is the way current is drawn in circuit diagrams, even though it is wrong.)

The ability of a material to impede the flow of charge is called:

A(n) _________________ is a circuit that does not have a complete connection between the two sides of the power source. As a result, current does not flow.

If you have one object with a negative charge and one object with a positive charge, will the force exerted by these two objects be toward each other or away from each other?

The force between the south pole of one magnet and the south pole of another magnet is measured. If the distance between those magnets is suddenly doubled, how will the new force compare with the old one?

From the previous question: Is the force attractive or repulsive? Previous question : The force between the south pole of one magnet and the south pole of another magnet is measured. If the distance between those magnets is suddenly doubled, how will the new force compare with the old one?

A physicist charges an object with a positively charged rod. If the object develops a negative charge, how did the physicist charge the object?

If a circuit has a low voltage, you can still get a lot of energy out of the circuit if you put a lot of current through it.

You are blindfolded and handed two extension cords of equal length. Both have the same current running through them. If the cord in your left hand is warmer than the one in your right hand, which cord is thicker?

Conventional current flow in a circuit runs from the _end of the battery to the __ end.

Electron flow in a circuit runs from the _ end of the battery to the end.

In most chandeliers today, when one light bulb goes out, the rest stay lit. Are the light bulbs wired in series or in parallel?

The atoms in an object are not aligned. Is the object a magnet?

You cut a magnet in half - right between the north and south poles. How many north poles and south poles do you now have?
