Overview

Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, just like mass and length. Everything around us is made of atoms containing electrons (negatively charged), protons (positively charged), and neutrons (uncharged). When electrons move through a conductor, they create electric current, which powers

Key Concepts

Electric charge is a fundamental property

Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that determines how it responds to electromagnetic forces. There are two types of charges: positiv

Electric charges exert forces on each

Electric charges exert forces on each other even when not in contact. Like charges (both positive or both negative) repel each other, while unlike cha

An electric field is the region

An electric field is the region surrounding an electric charge where another charge experiences an electric force. Electric fields are represented by

Electric potential is the work done

Electric potential is the work done per unit charge to bring that charge to a point against all electrical forces in a field. It represents the electr

Electric current is the flow

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Physically, it's the movement of electrons from the negative terminal of a batter
