Elementary Electric Charge
The elementary electric charge is Electron and is denoted by the symbol “e”. It is a fundamental constant and its value is e = 1.602 × 10-19 coulomb.
Electric Charge of Proton
Proton is considered to be the positive electric charge it is denoted by symbol, ‘p’ and its value is, p = 1.602 × 10-19 C.
Electric Charge of Electron
Electron is considered to be the negative electric charge it is denoted by symbol, ‘e’ and its value is, e = -1.602 × 10-19 C.
Electric Charge
Electric Charge is the basic property of a matter that causes the matter to experience a force when placed in a electromagnetic field. It is the amount of electric energy that is used for various purposes. Electric charges are categorized into two types, that are,
- Positive Charge
- Negative Charge
Positive and Negative charges have opposite properties. We have to study Electric Charge in classes 10 and 12. In this article, we will learn about electric charge, types of electric charge, methods of charging, properties of charge and others in detail.
