"Charges were held" typically means that a decision was made to keep the charges against the accused person in place, rather than dropping or dismissing them. It suggests that there is sufficient evidence to proceed with the legal case or trial.

What is the scientific term for 'charges in motion'?

The scientific term for charges in motion is electric current.


Does whether or not charges will move in a material depend partly on how tightly they are held in the atoms of the material?

It depends on whether the charges are free to move. There are two ways in which charge can move through a substance. Ionic substances are made of positive and negative ions. In a solid they have fixed positions, but in liquids and gases they can move around. Ions are atoms (or groups of atoms) which have gained or lost electrons. How tightly their electrons are held has no effect here as it's the whole ion which moves. The second situation where charges can move is when electrons are in delocalized bonds. In most substances the electrons are in orbitals associated with one atom or a small group of atoms. In metals, some electrons are in large orbitals which are shared by all the atoms, so the electrons (which are charged) can move freely through the whole metal. In this situation, the delocalized electrons can be thought of as not held by individual atoms, but they are still held by the assemblage of atoms. So the assertion in the question has elements of being right, but it's not the degree to which the electrons are held, but whether or not they are delocalized.


What does quashed charges mean?

Quashed charges refer to legal proceedings where a court formally nullifies or sets aside charges against an individual. This could happen due to lack of evidence, procedural errors, or other circumstances that invalidate the charges. Once charges are quashed, the prosecution cannot pursue them further.


What does unclassified charges mean?

Unclassified charges refer to expenses that cannot be specifically categorized or assigned to a particular account. These charges may not fit into existing budget categories or require further investigation to properly allocate them.


What does it mean legally charges released?

"Legally charges released" may refer to the dropping or dismissal of the charges against a person by a court or prosecutor. This could happen for various reasons, such as lack of evidence, witness recantation, or a decision that pursuing the charges is not in the best interest of justice.
