All observers measure the same speed of light,
no matter how any observer is moving.

The question is kind of awkward, though.  It seems to say that
people were having a hard time accepting this postulate of relativity,
until Michelson and Morley came along and did their experiment, and
their results gave Relativity a boost.

Actually, Michelson and Morley did their famous experiment in 1887.
At the time, Einstein was only 8 years old, and Relativity was not even
a twinkle in his eye yet.

  • Unlike charges attract .
  • like charges repel .

There are two types of charges

Namely :

  • positive
  • negative

On loosing electrons , a neutral body acquires positive charge .

On gaining electrons , a neutral body acquires negative charge .
