Charges #2
This week in physics we didn't really learn anything new involving charges but we did learn more about how charges interact with each other. We know that unlike charges attract, like charges repel, and neutral charges do nothing. But this week we got more in depth in how they actually attract or repel. Objects or more specifically their charges are like focus points that either suck in energy or project energy. Positive charges project energy, while negative charges suck in energy. Energy projected is in the form of rays that connect to unlike charges or run in hyperbolas to like charges. So if a negative charge was next to a positive charge, the positive charges energy will project energy and the negative charge will suck it all in. Like in the diagram above, if two positive energies are next to each other they project energy away from them, and since they don't suck in any then they end up repelling each other. Interesting...
