Name: Class: _ Date: _ SPH 4U: Unit 3 - Electric and Magnetic Fields Modified True/False (1 point each) Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. Coulomb s law is extremely accurate under the conditions that the spheres are small and that the spheres are also small compared to the distance between them. 2. When the distance between two charged spheres is decreased by a factor of 2, then the electric force decreases by a factor of 2. 3. When the charge on both spheres is doubled, the electric force is increased by a factor of four. _ 4. One of the ways in which Newton s law of universal gravitation differs from Coulomb s law is that gravitational force can only attract, whereas the electric force can only repel. 5. By convention, in electrostatic representations, electric fields start on negative charges and end on positive charges. _ 6. When the net force on an oil drop in a Millikan apparatus is zero, the gravity downward cancels the product of the mass and the electric field on the oil drop. 7. The magnitude of the magnetic force on a charged particle is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field and the speed and charge of the particle. _ 8. In a loop of wire with a current, the field lines inside the loop are closer together, indicating a stronger magnetic field than on the outside of the loop. _ 9.
