The electrons; their negativity cancels out the protons' positivity so the atom is electrically neutral.

What are the 2 types of electric charges?

The two types of electric charges are positive and negative. Positive charges repel each other, as do negative charges, while positive and negative charges attract each other.


Why do atoms have no electric charge even though most Of their particle have charges?

The negative particles (electrons) are balanced by the positive particles (protons).


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.


The attraction or repulsion that unlike or like charges have?

The attraction or repulsion that unlike or like charges have is due to the electrostatic force. Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other, while unlike charges (positive-negative) attract each other. This force is governed by Coulomb's law and is responsible for the interactions between charged particles.


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 is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?

Positive electric fields point away from positive charges and towards negative charges, while negative electric fields point towards positive charges and away from negative charges. In both cases, the direction indicates the direction that a positive test charge would move if placed in that field.


In which direction do electric field lines go from positive to negative charges?

Electric field lines go from positive charges to negative charges.

Does a neutron have both positive and negative charges?

A neutron has no electric charge. However, it is made up of smaller particles (quarks), which have both positive and negative charges. The total sum of all these charges, in the case of a neutron, is zero.


What do electric fields start with?

Electric fields start with charged particles, such as electrons or protons. These charged particles generate electric fields around them that can exert forces on other charged particles in the vicinity.


What are two types of electric charge?

The two types of electric charge are positive and negative. Positive charges repel each other, as do negative charges, while opposite charges attract each other.


What is the strength and direction of the electric field between positive and negative charges?

The strength of the electric field between positive and negative charges is determined by the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them. The direction of the electric field is from the positive charge to the negative charge.


What are the particles charges?

Zero, positive or negative.


What are the three types of charges that particles can have?

Positive, Neutral, or Negative Positively charged particles are protons Negatively charged particles are electrons Neutrally charged or no charge particles are neutrons


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.
