The Physicist who said first that the charge on a glass rod rubbed with silk is positive was Michael Faraday.

Why do conventional current flow opposite to the electron which produce them?

Conventional current is defined as the flow of charge from positive to negative. The terms "positive" and "negative" were first applied to charge by Benjamin Franklin; he chose to call the charge left on a rubbed glass rod as "positive". The conventional terminology was well established by the development of batteries and the need to distinguish their terminals. It was more than a century later that the electron was identified as the subatomic particle which carried electric charge. Unfortunately, it turned out to be negative.


What is the first step of material charge?

positive and negative


Why there is always a assumption for a unit positive charge but no negative charge?

The assumption of a positive charge is a convention that helps simplify calculations and analyses in physics. Negative charges are also considered in many scenarios, but they are typically represented explicitly as the negative counterpart to the positive charge. This simplifies the discussion and makes it easier to follow without losing generality.


What is the goal of elements in the first group taking a positive 1 charge?

The goal is to haave 8 valence electrons and for total charge to be 0.


What charge is the nuclease in an atom?

The nucleus in an atom carries a positive charge due to the presence of protons. Electrons, which carry a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus.


Does the amount of positive charge on a proton equals the amount of negative chatge on a neutron?

first off neutrons do not have a negative charge, they have a neutral charge what you are talking about is an electron which has a negative charge.and yes if there are the same amounts of protons or electrons then they balance each other out but still hold together because of covalent bonds


Who was the first to know about electricity?

Benjamin Franklin was the first person to discover electricity as he did the kite experiment, and was the first person to use the terms positive and negetive charge.


What is formed when the first ionization energy is applied to an aton?

A positive ion with a single charge and a "free" electron are formed.


Does electron proton and neutron have charge?

A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge


Is electristy in your bodys?

First of all you spelled "electricity" wrong. Electricity is everywhere, everything has a a positive, neutral or negative charge.


When does a piece of matter have a positive charge?

First of all, acknowledge that the charge of one proton (which cannot move) = the charge of an electron (can move). The electrons on that particular atom or object lets say, transfer from itself with the help of extra energy (e.g. friction or mere contact) so then the atom which was once neutral (same number of protons to electrons) and there are more protons than electrons because the electrons just left the atom. This means that there are more positive charges than negative ones, which means there is an overall positive charge, giving a positive electric charge.


How do you charge the battery in a 2004 Honda shadow vlx 600?

Find the battery first, look for the plus side it is the positive pole on the battery, You put the red or positive clamp from your charger on there. Then you put the negative which will be on the other side of the battery. Then you set your charger on 2 amp trickle charge, plug it in and let it charge.
