Outside of gravity, is polarity seen in all the other forces, particles, fields, etc.?
Polarity refers to the separation of electric charges within a molecule or particle. It is important because it determines the physical and chemical properties of substances, and allows for interactions between particles and forces.
While polarity is a common phenomenon among particles and forces, it is not necessarily universal. Some particles, such as neutrinos, do not have an electric charge and therefore do not exhibit polarity. Additionally, some forces, such as the strong nuclear force, do not involve charged particles and therefore do not exhibit polarity.
Polarity is typically measured using the electric dipole moment, which is the product of the distance between charges and the magnitude of the charges. It is represented using vectors, with the direction of the vector pointing from the negative to the positive charge.
Polarity can be altered or changed through interactions with other particles or forces. For example, the polarity of a molecule can be changed by adding or removing electrons, or through chemical reactions. However, the overall conservation of charge still applies, meaning that positive and negative charges cannot be created or destroyed.
Polarity affects the behavior of particles and forces by influencing how they interact with each other. Particles with opposite polarities will attract each other, while those with the same polarity will repel. This also applies to forces, where polarities can either strengthen or weaken the force between two particles.
