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.
Like mass and spin, charge is a fundamental property of matter. Protons and electrons are particles of matter. Therefore, strictly speaking, positive charge does not mean protons and negative charge does not mean electrons. It is more accurate to say that protons and electrons carry or exhibit charge.
