Question

what is an electric charge? give its type and write its units.

Answer 1

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. Electrons and Protons are sub atomic particles that carry electric charges, electrons carry negative charge and protons carry positive charge. 

Unit :- coulomb

Answer 2

Electric Charge Definition

Unit: Coloumb
Electric Charge is nothing but the amount of energy or electrons that pass from one body to another by different modes like conduction, induction or other specific methods. This is a basic electric charge definition. There are two types of electric charges. They are positive charges and negative charges.

Charges are present in almost every type of body. All those bodies having no charges are the neutrally charged ones. We denote a charge y the symbol ‘q’ and its standard unit is Coulomb. Mathematically, we can say that a charge is the number of electrons multiplied by the charge on 1 electron. Symbolically, it is

Q = ne

where q is a charge, n is a number of electrons and e is a charge on 1 electron (1.6 × 10-19C). The two very basic natures of electric charges are

Like charges repel each other.
Unlike charges attract each other.
