Here are the correct answers for each question based on the principles of electrostatics and electricity:

1. **A balloon is rubbed against a sweater. Which of the following describes the result of this interaction?**
- **Response:** The fibers of the sweater lose electrons.

2. **A positive charge is 1 m to the left of a negative charge. The positive charge is then moved and placed 1 m to the right of the negative charge. What happens to the electrostatic force between the charges?**
- **Response:** The electrostatic force remains attractive, but the magnitude changes.

3. **Two equal charges of magnitude \( q \) are at a distance \( r \) units apart. In which scenario will the electrostatic force between them remain the same?**
- **Response:** When \( q \) is doubled and \( r \) is quadrupled.

4. **When would force lines connect two charges?**
- **Response:** If the charges were opposite.

5. **What is the force on a 0.0020 C charge in an electric field of 150 V/m?**
- To find the force, use the formula \( F = qE \).
- \( F = 0.0020 \, \text{C} \times 150 \, \text{V/m} = 0.30 \, \text{N} \).
- **Response:** 0.30 N

6. **A circuit is constructed with a 20.0-V power supply and two resistors in series: \( R_1 = 4.00 \, \Omega \), and \( R_2 = 2.00 \, \Omega \). What is the resulting current in the circuit?**
- Total resistance \( R = R_1 + R_2 = 4.00 \, \Omega + 2.00 \, \Omega = 6.00 \, \Omega \).
- Current \( I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{20.0 \, \text{V}}{6.00 \, \Omega} \approx 3.33 \, \text{A} \).
- **Response:** 3.33 A

7. **Which wire has the most resistance? Assume they are made of the same material.**
- Resistance \( R \) is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area.
- **Response:** 2 mm in cross-sectional area, 10 m long (because it is longer).

8. **Which wire has the least resistance?**
- **Response:** A short, thick wire (because it has a large cross-sectional area and is short).
