Electric Charge and Its Properties

Physics ⇒ Electricity and Magnetism

Electric Charge and Its Properties starts at 7 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Electric Charge and Its Properties. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8
A metal sphere is given a positive charge by touching it with a positively charged rod. What method of charging is this?
Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of electric charge.
Describe what happens when two objects with unlike charges are brought close to each other.
Explain what is meant by the statement 'charge is conserved'.
If a body has a charge of -3.2 × 10-19 C, how many excess electrons does it have?
If a body has a charge of 4.8 × 10-19 C, how many electrons has it gained or lost?
If a body has a charge of 8 × 10-19 C, how many elementary charges does it have?
If a neutral atom loses one electron, what will be its charge?
If an object has more electrons than protons, what is its overall charge?
Name the two types of electric charges.
State the law of conservation of charge.
What happens when a negatively charged object is brought near a neutral object?
What is the charge on a neutron?
What is the net charge on a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium?
What is the net charge on an atom that has equal numbers of protons and electrons?
What is the SI unit of electric charge?
What is the value of the elementary charge (e) in coulombs?
Which law states that the total electric charge in an isolated system remains constant?
A certain object has a charge of -1.6 × 10-18 C. How many excess electrons does it have? (Charge of one electron = 1.6 × 10-19 C)
A neutral metal sphere is suspended by an insulating thread. A negatively charged rod is brought close to (but does not touch) the sphere. Describe and explain what happens to the distribution of charges on the sphere.
