ELECTRIC FORCE AND CHARGE

An electrically-natural object contains equal number of positive and

negative charged particles.
A negatively charged object contains an excess of negatively charged
particles
Positively charged object has a deficiency of negatively charged
particles.
NOTE
The grater the number of unbalanced charged, the greater the force between
the charged object.
The fact that the force between two charged object also depends on the charged
can easily show by using the apparatus in Section 26.1

The effect on the force between charges when the charge are varied.
