If a system has a net charge of +10 C and undergoes processes that redistribute charge among its components, what will be the total charge after all processes?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the principle of conservation.
In a specific process, one particle loses 3 electrons and another gains 3 electrons. Calculate the effect on the total charge of the system.
💡 Hint: Remember that electrons are negatively charged.
