8 Electricity, magnetism

8.A Electrostatics

8.A.1 Charges, conductors, charge conservation

Electricity is the movement of charge.

Charge can’t be defined (like energy), but we have an intuition about what it is.

“For example, lots of charge is required to get all these cameras those paparazzi carry working for red carpet events!”

“Yes Miley,” Jeremy replied.
