What is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field?
Electric charge
Which subatomic particle commonly carries positive charge?
Proton
What happens when like charges interact?
They repel each other
What is the term for an object with no net charge?
Electrically neutral
Which branch of knowledge is still accurate for problems that do not require consideration of quantum effects?
Classical electrodynamics
What is the term for the quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in an isolated system?
Net charge
What is the term for the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field?
Electric charge
Which subatomic particles commonly carry negative charge in ordinary matter?
Electrons
What is the term for the branch of knowledge that is still accurate for problems not requiring consideration of quantum effects?
Classical electrodynamics
What is the term for the conserved property carried by subatomic particles in ordinary matter?
Electric charge
What is electric charge and how does it affect matter?
Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. It can be positive or negative and affects matter by causing like charges to repel each other and unlike charges to attract each other.
What is the term for a piece of matter with no net charge, and how does it behave?
A piece of matter with no net charge is referred to as electrically neutral. It behaves in a way that does not experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
What is classical electrodynamics and when is it still accurate?
Classical electrodynamics is the early knowledge of how charged substances interact. It is still accurate for problems that do not require consideration of quantum effects.
How is electric charge conserved in an isolated system?
Electric charge is a conserved property in an isolated system, where the net charge remains constant. The quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge cannot change.
Which subatomic particles carry negative and positive charge in ordinary matter?
In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms.
