Question 1.
What are the two types of electric charge?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the deficiency and excess of electrons.
Question 2.
State one property of electric charge.
Show hintHide hint
Remember charges cannot be created or destroyed.
3Question 3.
What is the formula for Coulomb's Law?
- F = k * (q₁ * q₂) / r²
- F = q / E
- F = m * a
Show hintHide hint
