A bumblebee can sense electric fields. The most likely mechanism underlying this sensitivity is the motion of hairs on the bee’s body. The hairs bend in response to an electric field, and the bee senses this motion. Support for this mechanism as the source of the sensitivity is the fact that putting an electric charge on a bee (as occurs when a bee flies through the air) dramatically increases its electric field sensitivity. Explain why adding charge to a beecauses hairs on the bee’s body to bend more in response to a field.

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
