Electrical charges
All matter consists of atoms. Atoms contain three types of smaller particles: Subatomic particle with a positive charge and a relative mass of 1. The relative charge of a proton is +1., Uncharged subatomic particle, with a mass of 1 relative to a proton. The relative charge of a neutron is 0. and Subatomic particle, with a negative charge and a negligible mass relative to protons and neutrons.. Of these three, both the protons and electrons are Property of matter that causes a force when near another charge. Charge comes in two forms, positive and negative. For example, a negative charge causes a repulsive force on a neighbouring negative charge..
Objects that are charged can affect other charged objects using the Force exerted between two objects, even when they are not touching, such as the force of gravity. of Electric charge that accumulates on an insulated object, for example because of friction..
Generally, the atom has a neutral charge, but if it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and if the atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged. Charged atoms are called 鈥榠ons鈥.
