Benjamin Franklin was the man that defined negative and positive charge. In the nineteenth century, positive and negative charge was known as vitreous and resinous charge, respectively.
Franklin defined negative charge as the charge of a piece of amber after being rubbed against glass.

What type of charge do compounds have-?
By definition, all compounds must have a net electrical charge of 0.
Is plasma a gas with an electrical charge?
Yes, a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge.
How do we measure electrical current and electrical charge?
The definition of Electric Current in my books when I was learning is - the time rate of flow of electric charge, in the direction that a positive moving charge would take and having magnitude equal to the quantity of charge per unit time. The definition of Electric Charge is - one of the basic properties of particles of matter enabling all electric and magnetic forces interactions, there are 2 kinds of charge Positive and Negative.Electric charge is measured by coulombs (coulomb is 1 ampere per second) and electric current is measured by amperes. If trying to measure use a ammeter.
Does an ion has a net of electrical charge?
All ions have an electrical charge.
What charge develops on rubbing plastic straw with polythene?
Static electrical charge.
What is the Definition of neutrons protons and electrons?
Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge
What type of charge do compounds have-?
By definition, all compounds must have a net electrical charge of 0.
What is the definition of current-?
Current is known as the flow of an electrical charge. This is carried by moving electrons in a wire.
What is the definition of charge in chemistry?
Generally, in chemistry a charge refers to an excess or lack of electrons leading to a negative or positive electrical property respectively.
What is the definition of the term 'capacitivive'?
The term "Capacitive" refers to the charge held by an electrical device. The term can also refer to the type of touch screen, they rely on electrical charge from a human body to detect input.
What is the difference in electrical charge across the cell membrane of a resting neuron is called?
This is the definition of "resting potential".
What is the definition of a netron?
There is no such thing or word as a 'netron'.You possibly mis-spelled 'neutron' which is an elementary particle with no electrical charge.
What is the Definition of electrical clause A?
what is the definition of of Electrical Clause A
What is the definition of the word permittivity?
A measure of ability of a material tro resist the formation of electrical field within it equal to ratio between electrical flux density and electrical field strength generated by an electrical charge on the material. It is defined by permittivity.
Is plasma a gas with an electrical charge?
Yes, a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge.
What is the definition of a current?
Current is electrical charge flow, in coulombs per second. We simplify coulombs per second and call it amperes.
What do moving electrical charges create?
-- Electric charge that's moving is the definition of electric current.-- It creates a magnetic field in its neighborhood.
