1. Electric Charge • Electric charge is measured in coulombs. • The charge on an electron is _1.6x10-19C. • A positive charge is caused by a loss of electrons • A negative charge is caused by an gain of electrons. • For a given process charge is conserved because the loss of electrons equals the gain of electrons.
