In this last week of Physics, we further explored Electrical charges. I have learned that like charges repel, while unlike charges attract. For example, two "-" charges or two "+" charges would repel while a "+" and "-" charge would attract. Also, a neutral charge would attract to either a "+" or "-" charge. Another important concept that I learned was of the equation q = ne-. This is the Coulombs law and is used to find the charge of something. q represents charge and is equal to the product of n (the # of charges: protons or electrons) and e- (the charge of 1 electron: 1.6 x 10^-19).
