Group of answer choicesElectrical charge is a fundamental property of protons and electrons.Positive and negative electrical charges attract each other.Positive-positive or negative-negative charges repel each other.Positive and negative charges cancel each other so that a proton and electron, when paired, are charge neutral.All of the above statements are true
Question
Which of the following statements about the nature of electrical charge is FALSE? Group of answer choicesElectrical charge is a fundamental property of protons and electrons.Positive and negative electrical charges attract each other.Positive-positive or negative-negative charges repel each other.Positive and negative charges cancel each other so that a proton and electron, when paired, are charge neutral.All of the above statements are true
Solution
All of the statements provided about the nature of electrical charge are TRUE.
- Electrical charge is indeed a fundamental property of protons (which carry a positive charge) and electrons (which carry a negative charge).
- Positive and negative electrical charges do attract each other.
- Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other.
- A proton and an electron, when paired, are charge neutral because the positive charge of the proton cancels out the negative charge of the electron.
Therefore, none of the statements are false.
