What is proton electric charge?
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
The electric field of a point charge always points away from the charge?
If the given point charge is of positive one then the field points away from the charge. This is because we define the field at a point as the FORCE acting on unit POSITIVE charge. Like charges have to repel and hence the direction. If, other wise, the point charge is negative then electric field due to this negative charge would be towards the negative and not away from it.
When determining an electric field must a positive test charge be used or would a negative one do as well?
We could just as well use a negative test charge to determine an electric field, but then the Electric field vector would point opposite the direction of the force on the test charge.
Why dipole moment is avector?
Since there is charge separation in a polar covalent bond, there is also resultant electric field from partial positive charge to partial negative charge.hence due to electric field in one direction and also magnitude of equal and opposite charge.....it is a vector.
The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?
electric charge
A negatively charged object is placed within a positive electric field. what happens to the object?
Electric Field between positive and negative charges. If the Electric Field in which both the positive and negative charges are present is stronger than the Electric Field between the two charges we are talking about, the the negative charge will move away from the positive charge in that positive direction of the field. If not, then the negative charge will get attracted to the positive charge and stay at the position of the positive charge. It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field. (Novanet)
What are the 2 types of electric charges?
Positive charge and negative charge
What are the kinds of electric charge?
The kinds of electric charge are positive charge and negative charge
What are two types of electric charge?
Electric charge comes in two types, called positive and negative.
Do electric fields point outward or inward?
We define the "direction"of an electric field to be the direction of the force it exerts on a positive test charge placed in the field. So if there is some charge inside a shell, the field outside the shell points outward if the charge inside is positive, and inward if the charge inside is negative.
How do the particles of an atom differ in electric charge?
some is positive and some are negative and some are neutral and thats how there differ
Compare and contrast The Electric Field Around The Negative Charge And The Electric Field Around A Positive Charge?
A negative charge is caused by a excess of electrons and a positive charge by their lack.
Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
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 is proton electric charge?
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
The electric field of a point charge always points away from the charge?
If the given point charge is of positive one then the field points away from the charge. This is because we define the field at a point as the FORCE acting on unit POSITIVE charge. Like charges have to repel and hence the direction. If, other wise, the point charge is negative then electric field due to this negative charge would be towards the negative and not away from it.
How is discharging in a positive object different in a negative object?
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
