Electric Charges Explained: Neutral Atoms, Attraction, Repulsion, and Coulomb’s Law
Electricity begins at the atomic level. To understand how electric charge works, we must look at the structure of atoms and how electrons and protons create positive, negative, or neutral states. Neutral State of an Atom Atoms are identified by the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus and the number of protons inside the nucleus.…
