Your body contains roughly 10^28 electrons. However, your body can be considered electrically neutral. Explain why
Two electrons in an atom are separated by 1.6 × 10^−10 m, the typical size of an atom. What is the force between them? The Coulomb constant is 9 × 10^9 N · m^2/C^2 . Answer in units of N.
In what way or ways would the physical universe be different if protons were negatively charged and electrons were
positively charged?
Gravity would be a repulsive force instead of an attractive one.
Since protons are more massive, the universe would acquire a net negative charge.
The value of the Coulomb constant k would change.
Like charges would attract, and opposite charges would repel.
Atoms would consist of protons orbiting a nucleus composed of electrons and neutrons.
There would be no difference other than the sign on the charged particles.

Technically it is much more difficult to get the two beams to collide with one another in this way as compared to just having one beam slamming into a stationary target, yet this still how colliders are built. Consider the following two situations. In the first picture, (the modern collider design), two equal mass m particles collide, each with total energy Ecollider, to produce some exotic new particle of mass M, at rest. Conservation of energy says that 2Ecollider = Mc^2. On the other hand, in the second picture (the fixed-target design), a particle of mass m with energy Efixed hits an identical mass particle at rest, producing the same exotic new…arrow_forward
