1 North arolina Testing Program EO Physics Sample Items Goal 8 1. When placed between the positive and negative terminals of a discharge tube, which would move toward the positive terminal? a proton a neutron an electron an oxygen atom 3. balloon is rubbed back and forth across a person s hair. fterward, she notices that when she holds the balloon close to her head, her hair stands up and is attracted toward the balloon. The balloon and hair were neutral before coming in contact with one another. s she is rubbing the balloon back and forth across her hair, which explanation best describes what is occurring with the electrical charges? 2. Other than their charges, two conducting spheres are identical. These spheres initially have charges of 2 m and 8 m. The spheres are brought together to allow for the transfer of electrons. What is the identical charge on each of the spheres after they are separated? The hair and balloon have no change in electrical charges. The balloon s electrons are pulled to the outer surface of the balloon, and a charge is created. The balloon gains a negative charge from the hair while the hair is left with positive charges. 0 m 3 m 5 m The balloon rubs electrons off the hair and destroys the negative charges the hair once had, leaving only positive charges. 6 m Page 1

They are then touched and separated by the same distance. d Which statement is true about the behavior of the two conductors? They repel each other before touching and attract each other after touching. They attract each other before touching and repel each other after touching. 5. Two charged spheres separated by a distance, d, exert a force of F Newtons on each other. d The distance between the spheres is doubled and the magnitude of the charge of one sphere is doubled. What is the magnitude of the resulting force in comparison to the original force, F? 4F 2F F 2 F 4 They attract each other before touching and attract each other after touching. They repel each other before touching and repel each other after touching. Page 2
