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.
1 The definition of electricity is the flow of charge. 2  Usually our charges will be carried by free-flowing electrons. 3  Negatively-charged electrons are loosely held to atoms of conductive materials. 4  With a little push we can free electrons from atoms and get them to flow in a generally uniform direction.
