Yup, an electric charge is generated.
When a current flows through a wire, the charge within the wire does not change. The charge carriers (usually electrons) move along the wire, creating an electric current, but the total charge remains constant.
The measure of electric charge is the coulomb (C). It is defined as the amount of charge that flows through a circuit when a current of 1 ampere flows for 1 second.
Charge moves through an electric circuit by flowing from areas of higher potential (such as the positive terminal of a battery) to areas of lower potential (such as the negative terminal). As the charge flows, it can do work, such as powering a lightbulb or motor, before returning to complete the circuit.

Electric current is a flow of electrons is a measure of the quantity of electrical charge passing any point of the wire in a unit time.And, electric current is measured in ampere (A).Whereas, electric charge is the quantity of electricity that flows in electric currents . And , it is measured in coulomb (C)

not 100% shaw but..... :) it depends when you charge it and for how long. :)
Yes, the clouds become electrically charged and when there is excessive charge there is a big spark. The charge produces an electric field in the space under it, and when the field is high enough the gas atoms in the air break down, electrons are stripped off them and there is a plasma which conducts electricity. The charge in the cloud flows to join opposite charges on the ground. When charge flows there is an electric current.
Current is the flow of electric charge, not the total charge itself. It is called a net charge because in a circuit the movement of charge is a result of the difference in charges between different points, creating a flow of net charge.

An electric charge flows through a wire when there is a closed circuit that allows the charge to move freely. This requires a power source, such as a battery, and a complete path for the charge to travel along, like a wire or conductor.
