Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. ... Electric charge is carried by subatomic particles. In ordinary matter, negativecharge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms.
Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Like charges repel and unlike attract. An object with an absence of net charge is referred to as neutral. Early knowledge of how charged substances interact is now called classical electrodynamics, and is still accurate for problems that do not require consideration of quantum effects.
