a
number of electrons

b
proton movement
c
number of protons

d
electron movement


6. How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them?

a
The electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force.
b
The electric force increases because the distance has a direct relationship to the force.
c
The electric force increases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force.
d
The electric force decreases because the distance has a direct relationship to the force.

Here are the answers to your questions:

5. **Which of the following determines if a material is a conductor or an insulator?**
- **d. electron movement**
(Conductors allow electrons to move freely, while insulators do not.)

6. **How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them?**
- **a. The electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force.**
(According to Coulomb's Law, the electric force decreases as the distance between charged objects increases.)

7. **In a parallel circuit with three lights on it, one light breaks. What happens to the intensity of the other two lights?**
- **a. they stay the same**
(In a parallel circuit, each light operates independently, so if one light breaks, the others remain unaffected in terms of brightness.)
