Question

basics properties of electric charge

Answer 1

Many fundamental, or subatomic, particles of matter have the property of electric charge. For example, electrons have negative charge and protons have positive charge, but neutrons have zero charge.

Answer 2

Answer:

The following are a few important properties of electric charge:

• Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

• The magnitude of elementary negative or positive charge is same and is equal to   1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

• The electric charge is additive in nature. It implies that the total charge on an object is algebraic sum of the charges located at different points in the object.

• The charge is quantized that is charge carried by a charged object is equal to ne, where n is an integer.

• The electric charge of a system is always conserved.

• Unlike mass, the electric charge on an object is not affected by the motion of the object.
