/ᵻˌlɛktrɪk ˈtʃɑːdʒ/, U.S.

/əˌlɛktrɪk ˈtʃɑrdʒ/,

/iˌlɛktrɪk ˈtʃɑrdʒ/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: electric adj., charge n.

Etymology: < electric adj. + charge n. Compare slightly earlier charge n. 5.

Physics.

The quantity whose presence or flow constitutes electricity, now recognized as an intrinsic property of certain subatomic particles; the property of something by virtue of which it is affected by an electric field; an excess of one or other kind of this (positive or negative) on or in an object; = charge n. 5.
