Source sentences:
text: Because cosmic rays carry electric charge, their direction changes as they travel through magnetic fields.
text: Most cosmic rays, though, have an electrical charge, and their paths get bent by the magnetic fields scattered throughout space, making it difficult to follow their footsteps home.
text: Because cosmic rays are atomic nuclei - protons (hydrogen nuclei), alpha particles (helium nuclei) and heavier nuclei made from protons and neutrons - their overall electric charge would be positive.
text: What's more, most cosmic rays carry an electric charge, which means their path changes every time they encounter a magnetic field.
text: HZE ions are the high-energy nuclei component of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) which have an electric charge greater than +2.
