    1) Electromagnetism describes two fundamental types of charge called positive and negative, and how they interact via the electromagnetic force. 2) Charge is quantized and measured in units of the electron charge. It is conserved and Lorentz invariant. 3) The key law of electrostatics is Coulomb's Law, which describes the force between two charges and follows the principle of superposition. This law is experimentally verified.
