- Additivity of Electric Charge
- Conservation of Electric Charge
- Quantization of Electric Charge
Types of electric charge
Two kinds of electric charges are there :-
Negative Charge - When an object has a negative charge it means that it has more electrons than protons.
Positive Charge - When an object has a positive charge it means that it has more protons than electrons.
When there is an identical number of positive and negative charges, the negative and positive charges would cancel out each other and the object would become neutral.
