Electrical

Question 1

(symbol q, sometimes Q) is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electric charge can be positive or negative.

Answer 1

ELECTRICAL CHARGE

Question 2

WHAT ARE THE 2 TYPES OF ELECTRICAL CHARGES

Answer 2

POSTIVE AND NEGATIVE

Question 3

Happens when there are fewer electrons than protons in an atom or molecule. This charge is important because it repels other positive charges and attracts negative ones.

Answer 3

POSITIVE +

Question 4

It occurs when an atom or molecule gains extra electrons, resulting in an imbalance between protons and electrons.

Answer 4

NEGATIVE -

Question 5

is the elementary charge. denoted as (e). It is the magnitude of the charge carried by a single proton or the opposite of the charge carried by an electron.

Answer 5

FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF CHARGE

Question 6

IT MEANS THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ELECTRIC CHARGE IN A SYSTEM REMAINS CONSTANT. CHARGE CAN MOVE BETWEEN OBJECTS OR BE REDISTRIBUTED, BUT IT CAN NEVER BE CREATED OR LOST. FOR EXAMPLE, IF ONE OBJECT GAINS A POSITIVE CHARGE, ANOTHER OBJECT WILL GAIN AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF NEGATIVE CHARGE, KEEPING THE TOTAL CHARGE THE SAME.

Answer 6

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF CHARGE

Question 7

HOW DO CHARGE BEHAVE?

Answer 7

• Charges behave like magnets.

▸ 2 positive charges or 2 negative charges put together will repel each other.

▸ Put a positive charge near a negative charge and they will attract each other.

› A charged object may even attract a neutral one.
