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.

Is electric field dependent of magnitude of charge?

Yes, the electric field created by a point charge is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge. As the charge increases, the electric field strength at a given distance from the charge also increases.


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 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.


Two equal charges exert equal forces on each other What if one charge has twice the magnitude of the other?

Whatever be the magnitude of charge, two charges will always exert equal force on each other. As force depends on the product of magnitude of charges, it will increase if magnitude is doubled but will remain same for both the charges.


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?


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 do electrons have that protons always have in equal magnitude?

Electrons have negative charge and protons have positive charge. These charges always have equal magnitude but opposite signs in an atom, maintaining electrical neutrality.


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 is the total charge of a baron neucleus?

The total charge of a baron (sic) nucleus is positive, as it contains protons which have a positive charge. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the overall positive charge, as the charge of a proton is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the charge of an electron.


What is the magnitude of the force on a particle with charge q?

The magnitude of the force on a particle with charge q is determined by the equation F qE, where F is the force, q is the charge of the particle, and E is the electric field strength.


Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?

Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.


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.
