True

anonymous · Answer

Protons and Electrons

anonymous · Answer

true there are protons and electrons (protons have positive charges and electrons have negative)

anonymous · Answer

Positive and negative, yes.

unklerhaukus · Answer

neutral ?

anonymous · Answer

true...but negative & positive....but for isolated system when e- transfered to another system equal number of vacancy is produced,which can be termed as positive charge...

unklerhaukus · Answer

i think there are three types of charge

anonymous · Answer

No, there is no neutral charge.  Neutrality is either the cancellation of charge, as in the neutron, which is made up of one quark of charge +2/3 and two of charge -1/3, or the complete absence of charge, as in the photon.

Rather than think of two types of charge, maybe you should think of charge as having two directions, like displacement along the x axis.  You can go in the positive direction, the negative direction, or stay at zero.

unklerhaukus · Answer

zero is neither positive or negative

anonymous · Answer

true.neutral is no charge.

kropot72 · Answer

In its neutral state, bulk matter contains equal amounts of positive and negative electricity. Charging results from the transfer of charge between bulk matter upsetting the electrical neutrality.
There are only two kinds of electric charge, positive and negative.

anonymous · Answer

neutral is a lack or charge. its like 

"there are three types of women" blonde, brunette and bald. 

Bad example :P.

A lack of charge is not a type of charge. Just like a lack of custard is not a type of custard.

anonymous · Answer

It might be of use to note that although charge has 2 directions, there are 6 particle 'charge vector' (7 if you count 0) if you take into account antiparticles.
