What are the smallest units of electric charge?
Electrons and protons; electrons have a negative charge, while protons
have a positive charge.
How is electrical charge measured?
In coulombs; one coulomb equals the charge of approximately 6.24 × 10^18
electrons.
What distinguishes conductors from insulators?
Conductors have a large number of free electrons (e.g., gold, copper),
while insulators have few free electrons (e.g., glass, plastic).
