How do like electric charges react to each other?
Like charges (i.e. positive/positive or negative/negative) will repel one another.
Why do electrons produce an electric field?
Some fundamental particles in nature, happened to have an electric field. We just named one of them "electron". That's the simple answer. From an engineering point of view, there is no such thing as an electric field or electric line of force. Its a classical physics construct that we came up with, in order to explain what happens when charged particles interact with each other. Why do some particles have charges in the first place? Its because of some complex quark level interaction that I don't yet understand. Thus we have positive and negative charges, which attract each other, while like charges repel and we made up "electric lines of force" to explain them.
What is the fundamental carrier of electric charge?
The fundamental carrier of electric charge is the electron. The charge on one electron is 1.6021765 × 10−19 Coulomb, and is negative. Charge can't exist in any smaller quantity, and all charges are multiples of this quantity. Protons have a positive charge of the same quantity, but they stay in their respective nuclei and don't participate in the movement of charge from place to place.
What electric charge can either be positive or negative?
Positive charge is one of the two possible electrical charges, the other is ..........? the NEGATIVE charge.
What like magnet poles do?
Like magnetic poles (or like electric charges) push away from each other. The same also happens with like color charges of the quarks.
What is electrcial current?
Is the continous net flow of electric charges from one place to another.
Why do electric charges flow from one atom to another?
explain why electrial charges flow from one atom to another
What is an electric circuit in which the electric charges have only one path to follow?
It is a series electrical circuit.
How do like electric charges react to each other?
Like charges (i.e. positive/positive or negative/negative) will repel one another.
Magnetic poles are similar to electric charges in that they both can repel and attarct one another?
Yes, the rules for applying attraction and repulsion forces are the same for electric charges and magnets.
What are materials that allow electric charges to move easily?
I know that one is a Conductor
Is the electric forces that one charge exerts on another changed if other charges are brought nearby?
Yes when a charge is brought near to a electric charge ,then it will cause a change the electric field of the charge depending on the polarity of the both charges.
What is the loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another?
Static electricity
How does a hybrid car gets its power?
a hybrid is just that, a hybrid. it has a generator and a petroleum engine. the petrol powered engine starts and as it works it charges the electric one. when you brake this charges the electric one even more. once you drive at a constant speed (freeway) the electric engine will engage and thus save fuel.
When there are two or more charges the electric fields of each individual charge by repelling or attracting?
Two equal charges will repel one another. Two different charges (i.e., a positive and a negative charge) will attract one another.

What is electric charge build up one place?
builds a charge in one place
