Study Notes

Charge Concepts

Opposite charges attract, like charges repel.
Law of Conservation of Charge: The net amount of electric charge produced in any process is zero.
Symbol: q or Q
Unit: C, Coulomb

Elementary Particles

q_electron = -1.6 x 10^-19 C
How many electrons would be needed to accumulate a charge of -2 C?
- #electrons = q_total / 1.6x10^-19

Ions and Polarity

If an atom loses or gains valence electrons, that atom is now called an ion.
If a molecule, such as H₂O, has a net positive charge on one side and negative charge on the other, it is said to be polar.
