A charge, similar to mass, cannot be created or destroyed in any chemical reaction. It is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes the quantity of matter present in a body. Charges exhibit specific properties such as repulsion between the same charges and attraction between opposite charges, which are crucial in understanding chemical interactions.

A negatively charged body contains more electrons than protons, whereas positively charged particles are protons. Static charge results from rubbing, and it is stationary. On the other hand, current charge is associated with moving charges. When an object loses electrons, it becomes positively charged, while the object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. For example, rubbing a glass rod with silk fabric results in the glass rod becoming positively charged.
