Question

what is electric charge for class 10

Answer 1

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 charges; positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Like charges repel and unlike attract. An object with an absence of net charge is referred to as neutral. Early knowledge of how charged substances interact is now called classical electrodynamics, and is still accurate for problems that do not require consideration of quantum effects.

Answer 2

Electric charge is a characteristic of any matter due to the particles that are present inside it which enables it to perceive a force in an electromagnetic field.

• Positive-charged system: It has charged positive particles. They are called protons.
• Negative-charged system: They are particles of negative nature. They are called electrons.
• Neutral system: It has no overall charge because it has an equal number of positively charged particles as well as negatively charged particles that cancel each other.
• Charged particles have the property to attract or repel each other based on similarity or dissimilarity of their nature.
