Basic Properties of Electric Charge

Electric charges can be found not only in science, but also in people’s everyday lives. For example, rubbing dry hair with a ruler causes some hair strands to stand up, and this happens because electric charges are present everywhere in everything. The just-mentioned example involved electric charges that were temporarily charged. Protons, electrons, and neutrons […]

Electric Field

An electric field is a physical field associated with each point present in the space and surrounds the charges that may be present in any form. An electric field has the ability to exert force either by repulsion or by attraction on all the surrounding charged particles. The magnitude as well as the direction of
