Question

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

We have 6 levels and we will verify which of them is true.

A ) Electric charge is conserved

According to the conservation of charge, an electric charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

B ) A positive charge and negative charge attract each other

According to the properties of charges, the opposite charges attract each other and similar charges repel each other

Therefore this statement is  TRUE

C) Two positive charges attract each other.

Using the previous law, we can observe that this statement is false, because equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is FALSE.

D ) Two negative charges repel each other.

Using the same principle as the two previous statements, two equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is TRUE

E) Electric charge is quantized.

According to the quantization of charge, charges can take values only in integral multiples of a fundamental unit of charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

F) A neutral object contains no charge.

A neutral object contains equal amount of negative and positive charge. Thus, in totality a neutral object contains no charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.
