Question 16

Insulator

Answer 16

No easily distribute charge over surface or transfer
Usually nonmetals
Electrons of insulators much closer with their nuclei

Question 17

Conductor

Answer 17

Usually metal or ionic (electrolyte) solutions
Electrons farther form nuclei
Distribute charge across surface evenly

Question 20

Electric field vectors

Answer 20

Outwards for positive charges
Inwards for negative charges

Question 21

Direction of field and electrostatic force

Answer 21

Test charge + same direction as electric field vector of source charge, accelerate away, repulsive

Test charge - opposite direction to the field vector of source charge, accelerate towards, attractive

Question 22

Answer 23

J/C

Question 24

Electrostatic force is what kind of force

Answer 24

Conservative, pathway does not matter

Question 25

How do test charges move (change in electric potential) in relation with charge

Answer 25

Negative test charge, positive voltage change, negative Wab Positive test charge, negative voltage change, negative Wab In both U is decreasing

Question 26

Perpendicular bisector of the dipole

Answer 26

a line that cuts the electric dipole directly in half and does so at an 90 degree angle with respect to the line connecting the two charges of the electric dipole

Question 27

Electric field effect on electric dipole

Answer 27

An absence of electric field dipole axis can assume any random orientation In the presence of a uniform external electric field, each of the equal and opposite charges of the dipole, will experience a force exerted on it by the field Forces acting on the charges will also be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in translational equilibrium

Question 28

Magnetic field

Answer 28

Created by moving charges Can be created by individual charges moving like electron through space Mass movement of charge in the form of a current through conductive material

Answer 30

Made up on atoms w no unpaired electrons No magnetic field Weakly antimagnetic Wood, plastic, water, skin, glass

Question 31

Paramagnetic materials

Answer 31

Weakly magnetized in the presence of external magnetic field Removal of external field, thermal energy of individual atoms cause magnetic dipoles to reorient Aluminum, copper, gold

Question 32

Ferromagnetic

Answer 32

Unpaired electrons Permanent atomic magnetic dipoles Normally oriented randomly so no magnetic dipole Strongly magnetized when under certain thermal or magnetic field conditions Impossible to have monopole Iron, nickel, cobalt
