Multiple Choice: choose the best answer none of the above may can be a valid answer ___ The (attempted) demonstration in class with the pith balls and a variety of materials indicated that (A) there are two kinds of electrical properties (now referred to as positive and negative charge). (B) objects with the same type of charge repel, while objects with different types of charge attract. (C) charge is conserved in that whenever a positive charge is produced, an equal amount of negative is also produced. (D) all of the above. (E) electric charge was never discussed in this class. ___ . Electric charge is conserved (A) always. (B) never. (C) only in conductors. (D) except within conductors. (E) electric charge conservation was never discussed in this class. ___ . An electron has negative charge (A) as a consequence of the conventions set by Benjamin Franklin. (B) means that the electric force on the electron and the electric field are in opposite directions. (C) results in an attractive force between the electrons and the positively charged protons in an atoms nucleus. (D) all of the above. (E) none of the above. ___ . An electron has negative charge (A) as a consequence of the conventions set by Thomas Jefferson. (B) means that the electric force on the electron and the electric field are in opposite directions. (C) results in an repulsive force between the electrons and the positively charged protons in an atoms nucleus. (D) all of the above. (E) none of the above. ___ . Two identical charges repel each other with a force of 16N. If the distance between the charges is doubled, the force will be (A) 1N. (B) 2N. (C) 8N. (D) 16N. (E) none of the above. ___ . Two identical charges repel each other with a force of 4N. If the distance between the charges is halved, the force will be (A) 1N. (B) 2N. (C) 8N. (D) 16N. (E) none of the above. ___ . A positive charge of 4.0 ?C exerts an attractive force of 8N on an unknown charge 20 cm away. The unkno
