[[Electric Charge]] is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an [[EMF|electromagnetic field]]. There are two types of electric charges; positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Like charges repel and unlike attract. An object with an absence of net charge is referred to as neutral. Early knowledge of how charged substances interact is now called classical electrodynamics, and is still accurate for problems that don't require consideration of quantum effects.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge]</ref> | [[Electric Charge]] is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an [[EMF|electromagnetic field]].
