CBSE Class 12 Physics Notes Chapter 1 Electric Charges and Fields
The properties of atoms, matter, and molecules are determined by the magnetic and electric forces present in them. When an experiment was conducted on electric charges due to frictional electricity, it was found out that conductors assist in the movement of electric charge through them and insulators do not behave in the same manner.
What are the properties of Electric charge?
An electric charge has three fundamental properties:
- Quantization- This property states that the total charge of a body represents the integral multiple of a basic quantum of charge.
- Additive- This property of electric charges represents the total charge of a body as the algebraic sum all the singular charges acting on the system.
- Conservation- This property states that total charge of a system remains unaffected with time. In other words, when objects get charged due to friction, a transfer of charge from the one object to another occurs. Charges can neither be created nor destroyed.
