Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

an electron be placed in
order for the electric force
acting on it to be exactly
opposite to its weight? (Let
