Question

Which of the following describes electric charge?

Electric charge is the flow of protons

Electric charge is the flow of neutrons

Electric charge is the flow of a charge

Electric charge is the flow or protons and neutrons

Answer 1

Electric charge is usually measured in the flow of electrons from negative to positive. the flow of a charge should be the right answer. your teacher asked a very poor question though. It is unfair to ask a student this. I say C

Answer 2

I was also thinking about this question and I understood that usually electric charge in circuits uses only electrons. That made me also think about choosing the 3rd statement however I thought that this statement was the definition of a current, not electric charge.

Answer 3

Question is confusing and the possibilities listed don't seem to fit. I agree with Scoby6366 that number 3 doesn't fit as well as the rest.

Answer 4

None of them is electric charge because flow of any type of charge is called current. Electric charge is an intrinsic or fundamental property of some elementary particles which give rise to electrical interactions. But to develop charge on a body electrons get transferred from one body to another. Because proton's are trapped inside nucleus by strong nuclear forces so they cannot flow. These are deficiencies or excess of electrons which causes charge.
