Fixed the assertion that charge measures potential (since coloumbs and volts are different). Added a little more about the electrical nature of charge.
In legal terminology, a '''charge''' is an accusation by the police that a suspect (future [[defendant]]) has broken a specific law.
In legal terminology, a '''charge''' is an accusation by the police that a suspect (future [[defendant]]) has broken a specific law.
In [[physics]], a '''charge''' is the electric [[potential]], typically expressed in units of [[coulomb]], that represents a concentration of [[electron]]s.
In [[science]], '''charge''' usually refers to the [[physics]] concept of '''electric charge''', a fundamental quantity of a particle that determines the way electromagnetic forces will affect that particle. Charge is typically expressed in units of [[coulomb]]. One well-known subatomic particle which carries a charge is the [[electron]].
