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:

$||q_{A}|| = 5\\||q_{B}|| = 3\\||q_{C}|| = 0$
