Answer:
Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
Explanation:
Gilbert discovered that like Amber, several other materials such as glass, ebonite, sulphur and many more also on being rubbed attract light bodies. Clearly, this property in the materials is developed due to rubbing, that is, by friction.If we rub a glass rod with silk, the rod becomes charged.
Similarly, an ebonite rod on being rubbed with cat-skin becomes charged. But, the charges of these two rods are of different types.
