If +Q is at point P, another charge +q is placed near it than +q experience repulsion while ?q experience attraction so the nature of charge q can be defined by the field or force exerted by charge +Q .
3) Electric charge
is a property of particles such as atoms,ions,electrons etc that defines their behaviour in electrical fields.

2 types
Two types (1) positive charge?deficiency of electrons i.e. if a body loses electrons it will be positive. (1) negative charge?excess of electrons i.e. if a body gains electrons it will be positive
implies one is positively charged and the other is negatively charged.
If a glass rod is rubbed with silk it becomes positive and silk gains same amount of negative charge so the total charge before and after the reaction is same so charge never be created nor be destroyed but transferred from one body to other.
repel each other
Unlike charges attract while like charges repel each other so between two positive charges repulsion is working.
charges can take on discrete values that are multiples of charge on electron
Total charge transferred from one body to other can be calculated by the number of electrons it is known as quantisation of charge given by q=?ne, where n= number of electrons , which should be an integer.
