    Study Notes

    Charges

    Positive Charge

    • A positive charge is a type of electric charge that has the opposite polarity of an electron.
    • It is denoted by the symbol "+".
    • Positive charges are carried by protons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
    • Positive charges are attracted to negative charges.
    • Like charges (two positive charges) repel each other.

    Negative Charge

    • A negative charge is a type of electric charge that has the same polarity as an electron.
    • It is denoted by the symbol "-".
    • Negative charges are carried by electrons, which orbit the nucleus of an atom.
    • Negative charges are attracted to positive charges.
    • Like charges (two negative charges) repel each other.
    • The negative charge of an electron is equal in magnitude to the positive charge of a proton.
