Hello

Electric charge is the basic property of matter which causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electrons are negatively charged while protons are positively charged. It's SI unit is coulomb(C).

Electric field is electric force per unit charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge. It's unit is Newton/coulomb (N/C).

Hope this helps.
