Introduction to electromagnetism is a quantity used to determine how a particle will behave in an electric field. There are three possible "types" of charge: positive, negative, and neutral. However, the distinction between positive and negative is by convention only. Electric charge is quantized in units of the elementary charge, formula_1, where a proton has a charge of formula_2 and an electron has a charge of formula_3. The SI unit of charge is the coulomb. The elementary charge formula_1 was first measured by Robert Millikan in his oil drop experiment in which the electric force on the particle is set to exactly counter
Kennedy (given name) Kennedy (given name) Kennedy is a unisex given name in the English language. The name is an Anglicised form of a masculine given name in the Irish language. According to Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, the given name "Kennedy" is an Anglicised form of "Cinnéidigh", a masculine given name in the Irish language.
