Heyya!
ELECTRIC CHARGE: IS THE BASIC PROPERTY OF SOME ELEMENTARY PARTICLES OF MATTER. CHARGE HAS NO DEFINITION; RATHER IT IS TAKEN AS A BASIC EXPERIMENTAL QTY. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CHARGE CONVENTIONALLY CALLED POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE.
LIKE CHARGES REPEL EACH OTHER AND UNLIKE CHARGES ATTRACT EACH OTHER. THE UNIT OF CHARGE IS COULOMB(C). THE CHARGE ON A BODY COMES FROM AN EXCESS OR DEFICIT OF NEGATIVE ELECTRON TO POSITIVE PROTONS.
Hope it helps! : )

Atoms consist of electrons surrounding a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. Neutrons are neutral, but protons and electrons are electrically charged. Protons have a relative charge of +1, while electrons have a relativecharge of -1. The number of protons in an atom is called itsatomic number.
