It is the size, or number, of the charge, ignoring any minus signs. The magnitudes of -10 and +10 are the same : in each case, 10.

What does it mean to find the magnitude of a vector?
The magnitude of a vector is a geometrical value for hypotenuse.. The magnitude is found by taking the square root of the i and j components.
What does magnitude mean in math form?
The distance from zero.
Is it possible for the magnitude of the some of two vectors to be larger than the sum of the magnitude of the vectors?
Assuming you mean sum and not some, the answer is No.
What is an absolute mean?
An absolute mean is a mean of the absolute magnitude of a function with both positive and negative values.
What does scalar quanity mean?
Scalar quantity is when you have a magnitude but no direction such as speed
What is the magnitude of the charge on a photon?
The magnitude of the charge on a photon is 4/3 atto Coulombs, 1.33E-18 Coulombs.
Is electric field dependent of magnitude of charge?
Electric field is dependent on the magnitude of the electric charge, E = qzc/r2
What is a good comparison of the charge of and the charge of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
What is a good comparison of the charge of an electron and charge of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
What does a number of protons for an element mean?
The atomic number number of an element, and the magnitude of the positive electrical charge on a nucleus of the atoms of the element.
What must be magnitude of an isolated change to have electric potential of 120 volts at a distance of 15 cm?
Don't you mean isolated charge?
Are the charges of an electron cancelled by the charges of a proton?
Yes. The magnitude of electrical charge on a proton is the same as the magnitude of electrical charge on an electron. The charge on a proton is positive and the charge on an electron is neutral, so that a pair containing one of each of them has no net electrical charge.
What do electrons have that protons always have in equal magnitude?
Charge
Is Specific charge is scalar or vector?
specific charge is because a physical quantity can be complete only when by giving magnitude only. Here the physical quantity is complete by its magnitude.
What do the supercripts in ion indicate?
Superscript indicates amount of charge on ion. It describes magnitude of charge.
The two particles that are found in the nucleus are?
Assuming you mean the nucleus of an atom, the two particles found are protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge (with a magnitude of +1 elementary charge), while neutrons carry no charge.
Why should an test charge be of negligibly smaller magnitude?
The magnitude of the test charge must be small enough so that it does not disturb the distribution of the charges whose electric field we wish to measure otherwise the measured field will be different from the actual field.
