Electrostatics Quiz

The unit of electric charge is denoted by 'e' and it is also called the electronic charge.

The law of conservation of electric charge states that the algebraic sum of electric charges remains constant in a closed system, implying that charge is neither created nor destroyed.

The two kinds of electric charges are positive and negative, denoted by '+' and '-' respectively.

<p>Charge is quantized, meaning it exists in discrete packets rather than in continuous amounts. This implies that all charges in nature occur in integral multiples of the basic unit 'e'.</p> Signup and view all the answers
