Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that determines how it interacts with other matter and electromagnetic fields. It can be either positive or negative and is measured in units of Coulombs (C).
The formula for calculating electric charge is Q = n * e, where Q represents the total charge, n represents the number of charged particles, and e represents the elementary charge, which is 1.602 x 10^-19 C.
The electric charge of an object can be calculated by multiplying the object's capacitance (C) by its voltage (V). This formula is expressed as Q = C * V.
Electric charge is a measure of the amount of electricity an object possesses, while electric current is the rate at which electric charge flows through a material. In other words, charge is a static property, while current is a dynamic one.
In a closed system, electric charge is conserved, meaning it cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one object to another. This is known as the law of conservation of charge, which is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism.
