No. An electric charge is a property of certain particles (and larger amounts of matter); electrons have an electric charge of (-1) elementary units, but other particles also have electric charge. For example, protons have an electric charge of (-1), quarks may have charges like (2/3) and (-1/3), etc.

A shortage of electrons on a surface creates an electric what?

A shortage of electrons on a surface creates an electric charge imbalance or positive charge. This can lead to the attraction of electrons from neighboring surfaces to balance the charge and create an electric field.


Is an electric charge a proton?

No. Electric charges are generally electrons.


Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?

That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

Where is an electric charge found?

An electric charge is found on particles such as electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. Electric charges are also found in objects that have gained or lost electrons through processes like friction or induction.


What is the difference between a proton an an electron?

Protons and Electrons are actually quite different. Protons have a positive electric charge, while electrons have a negative electric charge. Atoms usually have the same number of protons and electrons, which means they balance each other out giving a neutral electric charge. If there are more of either protons or electrons, the atom will have an overall charge. (Negative or Positive). Protons are also located in the nucleus with the neutrons, while electrons are located in the outer shells surrounding the nucleus.


How much electric charge does an object have?

An object's electric charge is typically measured in coulombs (C). The electric charge of an object depends on the number of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The total charge of an object is the difference between the number of protons and electrons.


What is electrons contribution to electricity?

Electrons carry electric charge. When they move through a conductor, they create an electric current, which is the flow of electric charge. This flow of electrons is what powers electrical devices and enables the transmission of electricity.
