An electric charge responses differently to other electric charges. When they connect (every touch, or even one getting closer to the other), there will be an electrostatic response. Either an attraction, meaning they "want" to get closer, or an electrostatic repulsion, meaning they "want" to get away from one another. The electric charges can be in any matter, not in a single one, but even in two separate matters.Each charge can be positively charged (it will experience a repulsion to other positively charged matters), and it can also be negatively charged (the substance that is charged will experience an attraction to other positively charged substances. However, it will be repelled from other negatively charged substances).

What does not create charges but separate them?

A device that separates charges without creating new ones is a capacitor. Capacitors store energy in an electric field by collecting and holding positive and negative charges on separate plates, helping to store and release electrical energy when needed.


What reasons might there be for the universal belief among scientists that there are only two kinds of electric charge?

That's not just a "belief", that's what has been observed.


What creates an electric field?

The movement of electrons.AnswerPositively charged particles travelling away from negatively charged ones, in a suitable environment. AnswerActually, electrons do not move to create electricity. They simply pass a negative charge to positively-charged ions and this movement of charge is electricity. ACTUALLY ITS a physical phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electrons and protons.


What happens when there is a build up of an electric charge on an object?

The charge repels so if it's a conductor the charge moves as far away as possible (the side of the object). It will also attract other objects with an opposite charge, or repel ones with like charge.


What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?

Neutrinos cannot be accelerated by electric or magnetic fields in a particle accelerator because they have no electric charge and very small magnetic moment. This means they are unaffected by these fields and pass through them without being deflected.

What effect will one positive charge have on another positive charge?

Two positive charges will repel each other due to the electrostatic force being positive. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges, meaning that as they get closer, the repulsive force will increase.

Are electric woks as good as traditional ones?

Electric woks are better than traditional ones in some respects. For one, they do not take up space on your stove so you can cook other things. They are also easier to clean up because they sit on the counter and not the stove. The only disadvantage is that electric woks don't get as hot as traditional woks.
