elektrilaengutele

Elektrilaengutele refers to electric charges in Estonian. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative. Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb, symbolized by C. One coulomb is defined as the charge carried by a current of one ampere flowing for one second. The smallest unit of electric charge observed in nature is the elementary charge, denoted by e, which is the magnitude of the charge of a single electron or proton. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. The number of protons and electrons in an atom determines its net charge. If an atom has more electrons than protons, it has a net negative charge. If it has more protons than electrons, it has a net positive charge. An object with an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral. The flow of electric charge is known as electric current.
