What Is Charge:Introduction


WHAT IS CHARGE:

It is intrinsic property of matter. symbol of charge is Q. SI unit is c. It is a scalar quantity. There are two types of charges
1-Positive charge
2-Negative charge
Like charges attract each other and unlike charges repel reach other. Charge always comes with mass. Charge of any object is independent of its speed but mass varies with speed

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE::

Charge can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transfered. The total charge of an isolated system remains constant

QUANTIZATION OF CHARGE:

Quantization mean anything which is available in fixed amount. You can understand this term by following example
If you need pen you will go to market to buy it. You can buy pen in fixed amount mean you can buy 1 pen or 2 but you can't buy 1.5 pen. its not possible so we can say that pen is quantized. it is available in fixed amount. In the same way charge is quantized. We can transfer fixed amount of charge from one body to another boy. The smallest charge that exist independently is charge on one electron which is 1.6022 multiply 10^-19. that can be transfer from one body to another. You can't transfer charge smaller to this value. This charge is also known as FUNDAMENTAL CHARGE.
                                    "Charge always exist in integral multiple of fundamental charge"
We never study or not possible that 2.5e- charge transfer from one body to another mean in value of fraction charge never be transferable. Actually you will add electron to a body or remove electron from body if you add then body will get negative charge if remove then body will get positive charge
q=+-  ne
Where is any integer and e is fundamental charge or also say that charge n one electron

WAYS TO CHARGE:

1-Charging by conduction
2-Charging by induction
3-Charging by friction

QUIZ:

Q)Can a charge of 8*10^18c be given to a body
A)YES
B)NO
Q)WHAT IS FUNDAMENTAL CHARGE
A)Charge on one electron
B)Charge on 10 electron
Q)Does charge on a body change with speed
A)Yes
B)No
Q)Does mass on a body change with speed(closer to speed of light)
A)Yes
B)No
