5 True/False Question

1. thermal contact → contact between objects that allows them to influence each other's temperatures.
   

   True        False

2. lines of force → a pictorial representation of an electric field or magnetic field or any other vector field. Also called field lines.
   

   True        False

3. electric field (vector; V/m) → the force felt by a positive unit test charge in a region of space, due to the influence of other charges. Electric fields are produced by stationary and moving charges.
   

   True        False

4. voltmeter → a device that permits light of only one polarization to pass through.
   

   True        False

5. impulse (vector; N-s) → the product of the average force acting on an object and the time over which it acts.
   

   True        False
