About Negative Charge
- Negative charge is the opposite of a positive charge.
- Negative charges repel one another.
- A negative charge is attracted to a positive charge.
- Negative Charges create an electrostatic field which affects other charged objects.
- Electrons are the particle that carries negative charge. If a particle has more electrons in it than protons then it will be negatively charged.
