Doc Al said:What's the charge per electron? (Look it up.)
Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of electric charges and their interactions. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, and electrostatics explains how it is created and how it behaves in different situations.
Electric charge is measured in units of coulombs (C). It is usually measured using an instrument called an electroscope, which can detect the presence and magnitude of electric charge.
Positive electric charges are created by protons, which have a positive charge. Negative electric charges are created by electrons, which have a negative charge. Opposite charges attract each other, while like charges repel each other.
The electric charge of an object can be computed by adding up the individual charges of all the particles that make up the object. For example, the charge of an atom is equal to the sum of the charges of its protons and electrons.
No, according to the law of conservation of charge, electric charges cannot be created or destroyed. They can only be transferred from one object to another through the movement of electrons.
