Study Notes
Electric Charges and Fields
- Electric charges are invariant; they do not change in a field.
- Charge is a property of matter that causes it to interact with electric and magnetic fields.
- Types of charges exist:
- Positive (proton)
- Negative (electron)
- Neutral (neutron)
- Mass of a proton (mp) = 1.6 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
- Mass of an electron (me) ≈ 9 x 10⁻³¹ kg
- The mass of a proton is greater than the mass of an electron (mp > me)
