Electric Charges and Forces

Electric Charges Fill in the Blanks Read each statement and select the correct answer. 1. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.2. Protons and Neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom.3. Electrons move around the nucleus.4. There are two types of electric charge, positive (+) and negative (-).5. A(n) proton has positive charge and a(n) electron has negative charge.6. An atom is electrically neutral when it has equal numbers of protons and electrons.7. Electrically neutral objects do not attract or repel one another.8. Objects can become charged when electrons move from one object to another. 9. An object that gains electrons has a negative charge.10. An object that loses electrons has a positive charge. Electric Forces Fill in the Blanks Read each statement and select the correct answer. 1. A(n) electric field surrounds every charged object.2. An electric field applies a(n) electric force to other charged objects.3. When two charged objects have the same type of charge, the objects repel each other.4. When two charged objects have different types of charge, the objects attract each other.5. The strength of an electric force between charged objects depends on the amount of charge on each object and the distance between them.6. If the distance between two charged objects stays constant, then electric force increases as the total amount of charge of the two objects increases.7. If the amount of charge on two objects stays constant, then electric force increases as the objects move closer together.
