Electric Charge: A fundamental property of matter that causes it to experience a force when in an electromagnetic field; measured in coulombs (C). It exists in two types: positive and negative.
Protons and Electrons: Subatomic particles carrying positive and negative charges, respectively. Protons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus.
Conservation of Charge: The principle that electric charge cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; total charge remains constant.
Coulomb’s Law: Describes the force between two point charges:
[ F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} ]
where ( F ) is the force, ( q_1, q_2 ) are charges, ( r ) is the distance, and ( k ) is Coulomb’s constant.
Charge Quantization: Electric charge occurs in discrete amounts, with the elementary charge ( e \approx 1.6 \times 10^{-19} ) C being the smallest unit of charge.
Electric Conductors and Insulators: Materials that allow or resist the flow of electric charge. Conductors (like copper) have free electrons; insulators (like rubber) do not.
