Questions and Answers

How does the total charge of a system with n charges q1, q2, q3, ... , qn, calculated?

  • Adding all the charges together (correct)
  • Multiplying all the charges together
  • Dividing all the charges by each other
  • Subtracting all the charges from each other

    • What is the total charge of a system containing two point charges q1 and q2?

  • q1 - q2
  • q1 * q2
  • q1 + q2 (correct)
  • q1 / q2

    • What is the difference between mass and charge?

  • Charge has no magnitude, while mass has both magnitude and direction
  • Mass has magnitude and direction, while charge has only magnitude
  • Mass can be positive or negative, while charge is always positive
  • Charge can be positive or negative, while mass is always positive (correct)
