Electrostatics

Question 1

Positive charge (proton)

Answer 1

On an object originate with the removal or shortage of electrons

Question 2

Negative charge (electron)

Answer 2

On an object originate with addition of electron

Question 3

Neutral charge (0 charge)

Answer 3

Number of electrons is equal to number of protons

Question 4

Law of conservation of charge

Answer 4

A charge cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred from one object to another /the net charge of an isolated system remains constant during physical process

Question 5

Coulombs law

Answer 5

The magnitude of electrostatic force exerted by one point charge on another point charge is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Question 6

Law of quantization

Answer 6

an object has an electric charge, which is an integral multiple of the elementary charge

Question 7

Electric field

Answer 7

A region of space in which an electric charge experiences a force.

Question 8

Electric field strength at a point

Answer 8

Is the electrostatic force experienced per unit positive charge placed at the point
