Electric Charge

Electric charge is that property of matter which causes the matter to experience a certain force when placed in an electric field. Static charges produce Electric Field and when these charges start to move and become dynamic, they produce a magnetic field as well, moving charge is responsible for the production of electricity as well, to be precise, it is the movement of electrons that produces electricity.

Electric Charge Formula

If the charge flowing inside a circuit producing electric current is needed to be calculated, the formula used for the same will be, 

q = I × T

where,
I is the current flowing inside the circuit
T is the time for which the current is flowing.

Unit of Electric Charge

Electric charge is the fundamental property of matter. Various properties are explained by the electric charges. So it is very important to note the unit of electric charge and other parameters of the electric charge. In this article, we will learn about electric charge its definition, and the units of electric charge in detail.
