Key Stage 3
Meaning
Negative Charge is a property of matter that can cause an electrostatic force between objects.
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.

- 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.
- A negatively charged ion is one formed from an atom which has gained electrons.
- Some particles that are negatively charged:
