Elementary Test

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the concept of elementary charge, specifically the charges of electrons and protons. An electron carries a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1, both of which are expressed in terms of elementary charge (e). The participants confirm that these values are indeed considered elementary charges. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these fundamental concepts for upcoming tests. Overall, the clarification of elementary charge is essential for students studying physics.

elementary charge(someone please help, i have a test tomorrow!)

ok, this goes for everybody,

u know how in school, u learn that an electron has a charge of -1 and a proton has a charge of +1? is this in elementary charge(e)?

thanx.:)

thanx so much! i really appreciate it

Thread 'Free surface problem in electrohydrodynamics'

I'm thinking about the following problem. I have an electrified fluid with a constant charge density, Q, within the fluid. Will this necessarily yield a surface charge? Would I have to compute it by looking at the displacement fields on either side of the interface? Would it change if the bulk charge within the fluid remains constant?
