'''Charge''' is a fundamental property of a [[Physics:Quantum particles/particle|particle]] that determines how it participates in [[Physics:Quantum particles/interaction|interactions]]. The most familiar example is electric charge, which governs electromagnetic behavior.

</div>

== Description ==
Particles can carry different types of charge depending on the interaction considered. For example, electric charge determines electromagnetic interactions, while other forms of charge determine participation in other fundamental forces.

Charge is conserved in physical processes and plays a central role in determining how particles influence each other.

== Properties ==

* determines interaction strength
* conserved quantity
* associated with [[Physics:Quantum fields/field|fields]]
