HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! I wanted to say that I am so happy to have lived through another year! Anyways, today I'm going to talk to you guys about charges. No, not monthly phone charges. I'm talking about magnetic charges. There are three different types of atoms, the first is called protons, those are positively charged. The second one is called electrons, those are negatively charged. And finally, we have neutrons, which have no charge or neutral. The picture on the left is of one of my refrigerator magnets holding my baby cousins Christmas picture from 2010. I think what I'm about to say is right. But I could be wrong. But this is to my understanding and plus we just started this unit so I might mess up. Anyways, I know, that if I am correct, the magnet should have a specific charge. And the refrigerator should have a neutral charge. This is because when the magnet and the refrigerator come in contact, they stick together or attract. I can almost guarantee that the refrigerator is neutral though. One time, I got any actual magnet (one with a positive and negative side) and stuck both sides on the refrigerator. Both of the sides were attracted together. It says that both negative and positive charges are attracted to neutral charges. Therefore, it should be neutral. But I'm not completely sure if thats true or not. Anyways I sure hope that this helped a little. And sorry if this confused you even more. But it makes sense to me. Anyways happy new year again.
That was a really long blog post, but it really cleared things up. You definitely know what you're talking about, good job.
