Electric Charge

In physics, a charge is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electric charge is a characteristic property of many subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields. The interaction between a moving charge and the electromagnetic field is the source of the electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces.

The Electric Force

The electric force is a physical force exerted by electrically charged particles, and is the force responsible for a number of phenomena in electromagnetism. The electric force plays a major role in determining the internal properties of most objects encountered in daily life. The electric force is one of the four fundamental forces (the others are the strong force, the weak force, and gravity) of nature, and is responsible for a wide range of phenomena, such as the interactions between the components of atoms and molecules, and the formation of molecular bonds and chemical compounds. The electric force is carried by elementary particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. The electric force is responsible for maintaining the cohesion of atoms and molecules, and keeping atoms and molecules together, even though electrically neutral atoms tend to repel each other. The electric force is also responsible for the phenomenon of electricity, including lightning, static electricity, and the flow of electrical current in a conductor such as a wire. In addition, the electric force plays an essential role in maintaining the structure of matter, by keeping the nucleus of the atom together, and by preventing electrically neutral atoms from collapsing into each other.

the electric field for a human position. Is there some off electric field due to one noogies minus one plus Ah, you two plus t three and substituting values here we have. Ah, minus que que one divided by our one square plus kei kun too divided by our two square plus thank you three derided by our three square. So we'll substitute those values here substituting values. If we just take kay out, which is a nine times 10 to the power nine just take a out. Then I put the value for a cube which is ah which we have Here is a four time stenting power minus nine divided by our which is 2.5 square. Ah, one is 2.5 square minus here five times 10 to the ballroom minus nine divided by two square minus. We have, um three times 10 to the power minus nine, divided by 1.2 square. So simplifying this weekend we get the elected feel off 24 new Compper Cool
