Hawking Radiation: The Role of Electromagnetism in Black Hole Evaporation

carcosachild
Hello
When virtuals particles appears near a black hole , the one with a negative charge is attracted by the black hole , and as mass is proportional to energy , the black hole "evaporates" . My question is , why the particle attracted is always the one with the negative charge , is it because of electromagnetism ? (The black hole being charged postivly )
Sorry or the faults , I'm not english :)

Where did you read this? What makes you think it is so?

Are you referring to particle/antiparticles?

Here is a diagram showing one of each type escaping.

I think i just might have missunderstood what i red. 'Thank you very much , that's usefull ! :)

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
