electric charge
A fundamental property of matter. This property exhibits two states, positive and negative, that result in the action of electric forces in the presence of an electric field.
These two states were identified and named by Benjamin Franklin. The positive charge on the proton and the negative charge on the electron represent the fundamental charge, 1.6 × 10-19 coulomb (C).
