what is charge? explain it ?.
Hello Lipsa,
Charge is a basic property of electrons , protons and other subatomic particles . Electrons are negatively charged while protons are positively charged. Things that are negatively charged and things that are positively charged pull on (attract) each other. This makes electrons and protons stick together to form atoms . Things that have the same charge push each other away (they repel each other). This is called the Law of Charges . It was discovered by Charles-Augustin de Coulomb . The law that describes how strongly charges pull and push on each other is called Coulomb's Law .
- Things that have equal numbers of electrons and protons are neutral .
- Things that have more electrons than protons are negatively charged, while Things with fewer electrons than protons are positively charged.
- Things with the same charge repel each other.
- Things that have different charges attract each other. If possible, the one with too many electrons will give enough electrons to match the number of protons in the one that has too many protons for its load of electrons.
- If there are just enough electrons to match the extra protons, then the two things will not attract each other anymore. When electrons move from a place where there are too many to a place where there are too few, that is called an electrical current.
Hope It Helps !!!
Hello,
Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two types of electric charge : positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
