My question is why only protons and electrons have a charge?Why not neutron?
Electrons get a charge through a process called ionization, where they gain or lose electrons. This can happen through various means such as friction, contact with other charged particles, or exposure to an electric field.
No, electrons have a fundamental negative charge and cannot have a positive charge. However, they can have a net positive charge if they are part of an ion, which is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons.
An uncharged electron has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a neutral overall charge. A charged electron has either gained or lost electrons, creating a net positive or negative charge.
Electricity is created when electrons flow through a conductive material, such as a wire. This flow of electrons, known as an electric current, is caused by a difference in electric potential between two points, creating a path for the electrons to move.
Yes, electrons can lose their charge through a process called discharge, where they return to a neutral state. This can happen when they come into contact with an object with an opposite charge or when they are exposed to certain materials.
