Key Stage 3

Meaning

Positive Charge is a property of matter that can cause an electrostatic force between objects.

About Positive Charge

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