Humans, like all living things, are made up of atoms, which contain both positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. However, the overall charge of a human is neutral.
This neutrality is achieved through a balance between the positive and negative charges within our bodies.
- Protons: Located in the nucleus of an atom, these particles carry a positive charge.
- Electrons: Orbiting the nucleus, these particles carry a negative charge.
- Neutrons: Also located in the nucleus, these particles have no charge.
The number of protons and electrons in an atom is equal, resulting in a neutral charge. While there are some instances where humans can exhibit a temporary charge, such as during static electricity, the overall charge of the human body remains neutral.
