Question

What do u mean by electric charge??Also mention properties of electric charge......​

Answer 1

Electric Charge :

charge is an intrinsic property of matter,due to which force of attraction or replusion can be experienced.

There are two types of charges :

1. positive charge
2. negative charge

The Magnitude of elementary positive or negative charge is equal to$1.6 × 10{}^{-19}$

⇒SI unit of charge is coulomb( C)

⇒CGS unit electrostatic unit

$1 C = 3× 10{}^{9} esu$

properties of charge;

1. similar charges repel and opposite charges attract .
2. charge is transferable; charge transfer take place by the movement of electrons.
3. charge is a scalar quantity
4. charges is quantised, it is an integral multiple of smallest charge q = ne , n=1,2,3....
5. A charge body attract light unchanged bodies .
6. Charge is conversed.
7. Accelerated charge radites energy .
8. charges at rest produce electric field around them , charges in uniform motion produces electric field as well as magnetic field .

Answer 2

Answer;

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.

Properties of electric charge⚡

• Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
• Electric charge is a conserved property; the net charge of an isolated system, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge, cannot change.
