Gamma radiation doesn't give off a charge. It it just pure energy.

A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation, and photons (the gauge particles of the electromagnetic force) do not carry an electrical charge.

What is the relative charge of gamma particles?

The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender. We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it. The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.

What is the difference between alpha beta gamma rays?

Alpha rays are helium nuclei (two protons + two neutrons) and have a charge of +2; beta rays are either electrons or anti-electrons (positrons), with a charge of -1 or +1; gamma rays are high-energy light rays (photons).
