UTF-8Elect. PE_pg1Electrical Force and Potential Energy
Ions are particles that have net negative or positive electrical charge. They get a net charge by gaining electrons (negative) or losing electrons (positive) . Two Ions with the same charge repel each other, while two ions of opposite charge attract each other.
other ions with the same charge, and attract ions that have an opposite charge. This is called the electrical force, and like gravitational force, it gives the ions Potential Energy, depending on how far they are from each other.
