Multiple Choice
Since matter is made of electrically charged particles, why don't we feel electric forces all the time?
A) Because electric forces cannot be exerted across the nearly empty space.
B) Because the effect of the electric force is absorbed by the air that normally surrounds us.
C) Because the atoms in each small portion of ordinary matter are at rest, so they produce no electromagnetic force.
D) Because there is no electric current in ordinary matter, so there can be no net macroscopic effect.
E) Because matter contains as many electrons as protons, leading to no net macroscopic effect.
