Understanding Electric Charge
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 charges: positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively).
The SI unit of electric charge is the Coulomb (C), which is defined as the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
