As my great high school Physics teacher, Lee Dunning, said not too long ago: "There is no such thing as a negative charge" If I am correct, ALL charges are negative because electrons are the means in which current flows through, and obviously electrons are negative. I dont remember about ionization though.

What does a positive electric chrge do?

A positive electric charge creates an electric field around it and interacts with other charges. It repels other positive charges and attracts negative charges. Positive charges move towards areas of lower voltage in an electric field.


What enables the charges in an electric circut to flow?

The flow of charges in an electric circuit is enabled by the presence of a power source, such as a battery or generator, which creates a potential difference or voltage. This voltage difference causes the charges to move through the circuit, from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, in a continuous loop. The flow of charges is driven by the electric field created by the voltage source.


What device creates a potential difference in an electric circuit?

A battery is the device that creates a potential difference in an electric circuit. It establishes an electric field within the circuit that allows charges to move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, creating an electrical current.


What kind of energy involves the flow of positive charges?

Conventional electric current involves the flow of positive charges along a circuit. This current is the movement of charge carriers such as protons or positively charged ions.


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

Electric field lines go from positive charges to negative charges.


What is the movement of electric charges in a closed circuit?

Electric Current


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.


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.


Do electric or magnetic fields point away from positive charges?

Electric fields point away from positive charges, while magnetic fields do not have a specific direction with respect to positive charges.


What is an electric circuit in which the electric charges have only one path to follow?

It is a series electrical circuit.


Which electrical component in a circuit provides energy to drive electric charges around a circuit?

Power source such as a battery if u pluged it in it will supply energy to drive electric charges around a circuit


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.
