Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that is related to the electromagnetic force. It is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electric charge is a conserved property; the net electric charge within an isolated system will remain constant regardless of any changes to the system. Electric charge is measured in coulombs (C). Electric charge is used in electrical engineering to describe the flow of electrons through a conductor. It is also used to describe the amount of energy stored in a capacitor or battery. Electric charge is also used to describe the amount of energy stored in a magnetic field. Electric charge is used in a variety of applications, such as in the design of electrical circuits, in the generation of electricity, and in the operation of motors and generators. It is also used in the design of electronic components, such as transistors and diodes. Some companies in the electric charge market include ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and General Electric. Show Less Read more
