Study Notes
- Electric charges is the fundamental intrinsic property due to which electric force acts.
- There are two types of electric charges, positive and negative.
- The magnitude of charge on both electric charges is the same 1.6X10-19C.
- The fundamental charge is the charge on the electron or proton denoted by e.
- Quantization of charges: Magnitude of all charges are found to be integral multiple of fundamental charge thus If Q is total charge then Q = ne here n = 1, 2, 3 ,…
- The law of conservation of electric charge state that “The algebraic sum of electric charge in an electrically isolated system always remains constant irrespective of any process taking place.”
- Charge cannot exists without mass though mass can exist without charge.
- Charge is invariant: This means that charge is independent of frame of reference.
