whats a like charge?

Answer 1

charge, property of matter that gives rise to all electrical phenomena (see electricity). The basic unit of charge, usually denoted by e, is that on the proton or the electron; that on the proton is designated as positive (+e) and that on the electron is designated as negative (−e). All other charged elementary particles have charges equal to +e, −e, or some whole number times one of these, with the exception of the quark, whose charge could be 1/3e or 2/3e

the charges with similar types are called like charges, for examples two positive charges are said to be like charges.
One property of matter is the electric charge. Most sub-atomic particles have either a positive (+) or negative (-) electrical charge. Those that don't are considered neutral. The most common charged particles are the electron and proton. Atoms with an excess of electrons are called negative ions. Those with missing electrons are called positive ions. There is an electrical field that flows between opposite charges, causing an electrical force. This results in an attractive force between the opposite charges and a repelling force between like charges.

Answer 2

Hi. Actually you need two particles or more to have a charge that is the same, one to the other. A single particle can have a positive, neutral, or negative charge.

Answer 3

I will assume you are referring to an electrical charge, and in that case it would be two charges that are alike...either positive or negative....hope this answers your question.

Answer 5

Are you "positive" that you want to ask this question?

You may get some "negative" answers.
