What exactly is charge?
I am currently in both Physics 12 and Chemistry 12 and we just started Electrostatics today and I got very confused.
Sure, I could just accept it for being and plug whatever I need to into the equation to get my answer but I'd prefer to know exactly what's happening.
I thought that perhaps they are ions in the chemical sense or are they perhaps electrons and if so how are they being removed from the valance shells by just rubbing?
I'm a little confused... could someone help me with an explanation?
Thank you,
Marc
