Part of the Electronics glossary: In physics, charge, also known as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic charge and symbolized q, is a characteristic of a unit of matter that expresses the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons. In atoms, the electron carries a negative elementary or unit charge; the proton carries a positive charge.
The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb, which is equivalent to about 7018624200000000000â 6.242Ã1018 e (e is the charge of a proton). Hence, the charge of an electron is approximately 3018839800000000000â â1.602Ã10â19 C.y convention, the charge of an electron is â1, while that of a proton is +1. Charged particles whose charges have the same sign repel one another, and particles whose charges have different signs attract.
