Meaning they cannot be created by smaller components or destroyed. We define charges as being positively charged or negatively charged. Positively charged means there are more [[Protons|protons]] than [[Electrons|electrons]] Negatively charged means there are more [[Electrons|electrons]] than [[Protons|protons]] Like charged objects repel each other while oppositely charged objects attract one another. | Charged Object 1 | Charged Object 2 | Interacction | | ---------------- | ---------------- | ------------ | | Postive | Postive | Repel | | Postive | Negative | Attract | | Negative | Postive | Attract | | Negative | Negative | Repel | # Resources <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q8WUQedargM?si=n-73vxuD_CrRKqJJ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> --- > ✍️ This project’s been a labour of love. > If it helped, [give Math & Matter a star](https://github.com/rajeevphysics/Obsidian-MathMatter) and let me know what you'd like to see next. --- [^1]: Taken from https://tikz.net/charge/ by Izaak Neutelings (July 2018)
