What is two kinds of charge?Show answer
Charge is a fundamental property of matter, carried by protons (positive) and electrons (negative). Charge is quantised in units of the elementary charge , and it is conserved, meaning it can be transferred but never created or destroyed. An object becomes negatively charged by gaining electrons and positively charged by losing them; the protons in the nucleus do not move.
What are charging methods?Show answer
Objects can be charged in three ways:
