Charge conservation elementary charge on positive and negative particles must be extremely close to equal, differing by no more than a factor of 10 for the case of protons and electrons. Ordinary matter contains equal numbers of positive and negative particles, protons and electrons, in enormous quantities. If the elementary charge on the electron and proton were even slightly different, all matter would have a large electric charge and would be mutually repulsive. The best experimental tests of electric charge conservation are searches for particle decays that would be allowed if electric charge is not always conserved. No such decays have ever
Ida (given name) Ida (given name) Ida is a given name occurring independently in several cultures. In Germany, Ida is a female name derived from a Germanic word "id", meaning "labor, work". Alternately, it may be related to the name of the Old Norse goddess "Iðunn". Ida also occurs as an anglicisation of the Irish girl's given name Íde.
