Can an electric charge be positive?

When a process of oxidation takes place the element acquires a unit positive charge. The number of protons are more than the number of electrons in an element which gives the element its positive charge as the protons have a positive charge.


What is a build up of an electric charge in one place?

A build-up of an electric charge in one place is known as static electricity. This occurs when positive and negative charges accumulate on an object due to friction or induction, creating an imbalance of electrons. When this charge is discharged, it can result in sparks or a shock.


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.


Where is the relation between the holes and proton like the positiv charge?

proton has the positive charge and holes came in the picture during the discovery of diodes. It is also important in the phenomenon of drift velocity(electricity related process) and scientists consider that when a electron moves from its place to the other side of diodes a vacant place is created where there was electron before so that vacant site is referred as hole and it is taken as having positive charge because as the electrons move the other side of diode more holes are created as deficiency of electrons and that side of diode behaves as positive side and other side of diode as the accumulation of negative charges (electron) behaves as negative side.


How do you explain why a magnet will not attract to a plastic paper clip?

When you place magnets on a pencil they will usually not touch each other, this is because of their magnetism. It means you've placed the magnets on sides similar to each other; a magnet has two sides, a positive and a negative. If you place a positive with a negative, they stick together, but when you place a positive with a positive, or a negative with a negative, then they will push against each other. And since the magnets on the pencil have little room to move, when they push against each other they don't touch, and they seem to float.

What holds the electrons around the nucleas?

protons hold electrons around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge, so since opposite charges attract each other, electrons and protons hold each other in place.


Why hole has positive charge?

A hole in a semiconductor has a net positive charge because it represents the absence of an electron, which has a negative charge. When an electron moves from its position to fill the hole, it leaves behind a positively charged location or "hole." This movement of electrons creates a current flow in the material.


Are all electrons attracted to each other?

Electrons have a negative charge, so they will repel away from one another. Electrons are attracted only to protons or other positive charges. if your question is whether,a negative charge attracts other, it is possible,if you place a charge of less magnitude near a charge of greater magnitude, one can attract other.this is due to the fact that, induction charges are set up in the lesser magnitude charge due to the greater magnitude charge.


Is an electric current a flow of charge?

Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.


How do you charge a capacitor?

You charge a capacitor by placing DC voltage across its terminal leads. Make sure when using a polarized capacitor to place positive voltage across the positive lead (the longer lead) and negative voltage across the negative lead. Also make sure that the voltage you charge the capacitor to doesn't exceeds its voltage rating.


Will 22 and -34 attract repel or nothing?

Attraction and repulsion are phenomena which take place in the physical universe. Numbers are abstractions. They do not attract or repel.


How does permanent dipole-dipole interaction take place?

because of certain elements being more electronegative than others, this causes positive and negative ends of the molecule. the positive ends then attract the negative ends and vice versa, and so this is Van der Walls' forces

Why do protons in an atom stay in one place evem though they have the same positive charge?

Protons and nuetrons attract each other by another force, called the "strong force".


What is the Electric charge that has built up in one place referred to as?

The electric charge that has built up in one place is referred to as static electricity.


What is the movement of static charge from one place to another is called?

The movement of static charge from one place to another is called static electricity. This occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges and they move to restore equilibrium, usually by flow of electrons.
