Question

Elements can have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge. Determine the magnitude of each element given below. Element A has a charge of 5. What is the magnitude of the charge? Element B has a charge of -3. What is the magnitude of the charge? Element C has a charge of 0. What is the magnitude of the charge?

Answer 1

Answer:
`||q_(A)||=5`,
`||q_(B)||= 3`,
`||q_(C)|| = 0`.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude is an absolute value by definition. Hence, each element has the respective value:

`||q_(A)|| = 5\\||q_(B)|| = 3\\||q_(C)|| = 0\\`
