Explanation:

(1) The number of protons in the nucleus of an electrically neutral atom is equal to _________

protons are found in the nucleus while electrons surround the nucleus

A) the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.

2) The main difference between conductors and insulators is in terms of _________.

conductors have mobile or free electrons while insulators have none.

A) valence or conduction electrons.

3) When the distance between the two charges is doubled, the force between them is ___________.

According to Coulomb's law;

where;

F is the force between the charges

q₁ and q₂ are the two charges

r is the distance between the two charges

k is coulomb's constant

B) reduced by a factor of 4.

4) When the magnitude of both interacting charges is increased by a factor of 2, the electrical forces between these charges is _________

Apply Coulomb's law again;

E) quadrupled

5) Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by a certain distance R. If the magnitudes of the charges are halved, and their separation is also halved, then what happens to the electrical force between these charges?

Apply Coulomb's law;

B) It remains the same.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
