Charge may refer to one of many different quantities, such as the electric charge in electromagnetism or the color charge in quantum chromodynamics. Charges are associated with conserved quantum numbers. is any generator of a continuous symmetry of the physical system under study. When a physical system has a symmetry of some sort, Noether's theorem implies the existence of a conserved current. The thing that "flows" in the current is the "charge", the charge is the generator of the (local) symmetry group. This charge is sometimes called the Noether charge. is conserved, that is for an isolated system, the total charge remains constant. Charge is neither created nor destroyed; it is transferred from one body to the other. is quantized. The smallest discrete value of charge that can exist in nature is the charge on an electron, given as e = -1.6 10- 19 C This is the charge attained by an electron and a proton. A charge q must be an integer multiple of this basis unit. That is, Q = ne where n = 1, 2,

Charge on a body can never be ()e, (2/3)e, or 5.7e, etc. 2. Electrostatic force One of the mysteries of the atom is that the electron and the nucleus attract each other. This attraction is called electrostatic force, the force that holds the electron in orbit. This force may be illustrated with lines as shown.

The force between two electrically charged objects is

Having no motion; being at rest; quiescent. Fixed; stationary relating to bodies at rest or forces that balance each other
