  2. Color charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge

    Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue.

  3. Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

    One very important feature of the Hall effect is that it differentiates between positive charges moving in one direction and negative charges moving in the opposite. In the diagram above, the Hall effect with a negative charge carrier (the electron) is presented. But consider the same magnetic field and current are applied but the current is ...

  4. Strong interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction

    Unlike the photon in electromagnetism, which is neutral, the gluon carries a color charge. Quarks and gluons are the only fundamental particles that carry non-vanishing color charge, and hence they participate in strong interactions only with each other. The strong force is the expression of the gluon interaction with other quark and gluon ...

  5. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Two charges are present with a negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a positive charge at the ends (blue shade). In chemistry , polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment , with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end.

  6. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    The electrostatic field (lines with arrows) of a nearby positive charge (+) causes the mobile charges in conductive objects to separate due to electrostatic induction. Negative charges (blue) are attracted and move to the surface of the object facing the external charge. Positive charges (red) are repelled and move to the surface facing away ...

  7. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    If both charges have the same sign (like charges) then the product is positive and the direction of the force on is given by ^; the charges repel each other. If the charges have opposite signs then the product is negative and the direction of the force on is ^; the charges attract each other.

  8. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    Illustration of the electric field surrounding a positive (red) and a negative (blue) charge. Electrostatic fields are electric fields that do not change with time. Such fields are present when systems of charged matter are stationary, or when electric currents are unchanging. In that case, Coulomb's law fully describes the field. [17]

  9. Fluid theory of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_theory_of_electricity

    One liquid carried a positive charge, and the other a negative charge. When these two liquids came into contact with one another, they would produce a neutral charge. [3] This theory dealt mainly with explaining electrical attraction and repulsion, rather than how an object could be charged or discharged.
