increasing the positive charge of the positively charged object and increasing the negative charge of the negatively charged object
B
decreasing the positive charge of the positively charged object and decreasing the negative charge of the negatively charged object
C
increasing the distance between the positively charged object and the negatively charged object
D
maintaining the distance between the positively charged object and the negatively charged object
5

Hiro rubs an inflated balloon on his hair, and his hair sticks to the balloon. As he moves the balloon away from his head, how does the electric force change?

A
The electric force increases because the balloon loses its charge.
B
The electric force increases because the distance increases.
C
The electric force decreases because the distance increases.
D
The electric force decreases because his hair loses its charge.

8

Which factors affect the strength of the electric force between two objects?

A
the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects
B
the amount of charge on the objects and the type of charge on the objects
C
the distance between the objects and the amount of charge on the objects
D
the mass of the objects and the amount of charge on the objects
9

An electroscope is a device that detects charge on objects that touch it or are brought near it. John rubs a piece of cotton fabric on a plastic rod and then touches the rod to the electroscope.

A
John charges the rod through induction, then charges the electroscope through friction.
B
John charges the rod through conduction, then charges the electroscope through induction.
C
John charges the rod through friction, then charges the electroscope through induction.
D
John charges the rod through friction, then charges the electroscope through conduction.
10

How does increasing the amount of charge on an object affect the electric force it exerts on another charged object?

A
The electric force increases because the amount of charge has an indirect relationship to the force.
B
The electric force increases because the amount of charge has a direct relationship to the force.
C
The electric force decreases because the amount of charge has an indirect relationship to the force.
D
The electric force decreases because the amount of charge has a direct relationship to the force.
