Electric Charge is defined as the amount of energy or electrons passing from one body to another either by conduction, induction or other specific methods. There are two types of electric charges namely positive charge and negative charges. Charges are present in almost everybody and those bodies which don’t have charges are assumed to be neutrally charged or no charge.
The charge is denoted by the symbol ‘q’ and its standard unit is Coulomb. Mathematically charge is the number of electrons multiplied by the charge on 1 electron. That is
Q = ne
