#6

What is the SI unit of electric charge?

Coulomb
Explanation

Unit representing the quantity of charge

#7

Two like charges ______ each other, while two unlike charges ______ each other.

Repel, attract
Explanation

Similar charges repel, opposite charges attract

#8

What is the principle of conservation of charge?

Charge cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred
Explanation

Law stating charge is conserved in any process

#9

What happens when an insulator is rubbed with a cloth?

It gains a positive charge
Explanation

Transfer of electrons, leaving a net positive charge

#10

Which law states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them?

Coulomb's Law
Explanation

Fundamental law of electrostatics governing force between charges

#11

What is the formula to calculate the electric force between two charges?

F = k * q1 * q2 / r
Explanation
