==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Positive Charge''' is a [[property]] of [[matter]] that can cause an [[Electrostatic Force|electrostatic force]] between [[object]]s.

===About Positive Charge===
: '''Positive charge''' is the opposite of a [[Negative Charge|negative charge]].
: '''Positive charges''' [[repel]] one another.
: A '''positive charge''' is [[attracted]] to a [[Negative Charge|negative charge]].
: '''Positive Charges''' create an [[Electrostatic Field|electrostatic field]] which affects other [[Electrical Charge|charged]] [[object]]s.
: [[Proton]]s are the [[particle]] that carries '''positive charge'''. If a [[particle]] has more [[proton]]s in it than [[electron]]s then it will be '''positively charged'''.

To see the [[Electrostatic Field|electrostatic field]] created by a '''charge''' click on the picture below to play a PHET simulation.
