In physics and chemistry, charge is fundamentally related to fields and forces, and is a property of pieces of matter that leads to forces between spatially separate pieces of matter that likewise manifest that particular property. There are a wide variety of such charges. In the Standard Model, there are three types of charge: color, weak isospin and weak hypercharge.^[1] These include the electric charge underlying electric current that enters Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field. In addition, there is mass that enters gravitation.^[2]

These charges are conserved quantities and are related to currents describing their flux or motion. The conservation law relating the charge to its current is of the form:

{\text{div}}\mathbf {J} +{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}\rho =0\ ,

where div is the vector divergence operator, J is the vector current density, and ρ is the charge density. For a volume enclosed by a surface, this equation can be expressed by the statement that any change in the charge contained inside the closed surface is due to a current of said charge either entering or exiting through that surface.

Such conservation laws are examples of Noether's theorem, which states that every symmetry of a physical theory is related to a conservation law of this kind. This theorem is closely related to Curie's principle:

The symmetry of an isolated system cannot decrease as the system evolves with time.^[3]

The best known of these conservation laws are the conservation of momentum (the current is momentum density, the charge is mass density), related to translational symmetry of the laws of mechanics, conservation of angular momentum, related to the rotational symmetry of the laws of mechanics, and conservation of energy, related to the independence of the laws of mechanics from time translations. Such symmetries are intuitive for point particle mechanics, but for the physics of general fields some symmetries are quite non-intuitive.

A formal description of Noether's theorem as related to charge is that a current j^a = (j^a₀, j^a) satisfying:

\partial ^{\mu }j_{u}^{a}=\partial _{t}j_{0}^{a}+\nabla \cdot \mathbf {j} ^{a}=0\ ,

which implies the conservation of the charge Q defined by:

Q=\int \ d^{3}xj_{0}^{a}\ ,

is a natural consequence of the j^a being generators of a Lie group that is a symmetry group of the physical system.^[4]

Charge and exchange forces

Forces between particles are mediated by exchange of shared properties. For example, two nucleons in the same state of motion can exchange electric charge, producing an exchange force. The Yukawa theory of nuclear force posited that nucleons (protons p and neutrons n) could exchange electric charge by trading pions according to the reactions:^[5]

n\Leftrightarrow p+\pi ^{-};\ p\Leftrightarrow n+\pi ^{+}\ ,

and forces between like particles could be introduced by exchange of zero-charge pions:

p\Leftrightarrow p+\pi ^{0};\ n\Leftrightarrow n+\pi ^{0}\ .

These reactions do not conserve mass or energy, they are virtual reactions. One common (although not universally accepted) "explanation" why violation is permissible is that such reactions occur very rapidly, and for very short times the energy uncertainty relation allows violation of these conservation rules.

Besides electric charge, other properties can be exchanged, such as spin (Bartlett exchange), or position (Majorana exchange).

The swapping of shared properties is a symmetry operation, the exchange of identical particles, and as such is related to conserved quantities via Noether's theorem. For example, the nucleon can be thought of as a two-state particle with an isospin that is +1/2 for a neutron and −1/2 for a proton, so the change of one to the other is an isospin exchange, and symmetry of a theory under isospin exchange indicates the theory conserves isospin.^[6] In a quantized version of such a theory, isospin exchange could be moderated by the pion reactions above.

Only if isospin symmetry in the theory can be produced by a continuous transformation (one depending upon some continuously variable parameter), does it lead to an isospin current conservation law.

Electrodynamics

In electrodynamics, two types of charge are known, magnetic and electric. The distinguishing property of electric charge is that electric charges can be isolated, while while an isolated magnetic charge or magnetic monopole never has been observed.^[7] Electric charges interact with magnetic charges only when in relative motion one to the other.

The conservation of electric charge follows directly from Maxwell's equations. It also can be derived from Noether's theorem as a result of a gauge invariance of Maxwell's theory when that theory is expressed in terms of a vector potential. Although this approach has continuity with much of modern field theory, it is somewhat unintuitive, as the "symmetry" of the recast Maxwell equations is simply due to introduction of a mathematical device that adds an unnecessary degree of freedom into the formulation thereby introducing this symmetry artificially.^[8] Below is a digression on this topic.

The basic electric field E and magnetic field B of Maxwell's equations can be replaced by introduction of a scalar potential φ and a vector potential A using the relations:

{\boldsymbol {E}}=-\nabla \phi -{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}{\boldsymbol {A}},

{\boldsymbol {B}}=-\nabla \times {\boldsymbol {A}}.

Although the potentials uniquely determine the fields, the reverse is not true. Different potentials produce the same fields; in particular the potentials denoted by primes below produce the same fields:

\phi '=\phi +{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}\Gamma ,

{\boldsymbol {A}}'={\boldsymbol {A}}-\nabla \Gamma .

Here Γ = Γ(r, t) is any continuous function of the space-time coordinates r, t. Consequently, a theory based upon potentials instead of fields has the additional symmetry that it is unchanged by substitution of primed potentials instead of the original potentials. This change of potentials from unprimed to primed is called a gauge transformation and this new symmetry leads directly to the continuity equation for electric charge:

\nabla {\boldsymbol {\cdot }}J+{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}\rho =0\ .

This equation is a direct consequence of the Maxwell equations defining charge and current densities (in Heaviside-Lorentz units):

\nabla \cdot {\boldsymbol {E}}=\rho \ ,

\nabla \times {\boldsymbol {B}}-{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}{\boldsymbol {E}}={\boldsymbol {J}}\ .

However, using the potential formulation, the continuity equation is required if the theory is to be gauge invariant,^[9] and this requirement is consistent with Noether's theorem.

In a quantized theory based upon the potential formulation of Maxwell's equations, the electrical force between charged particles is an exchange force mediated by trading charge-neutral photons. The electromagnetic potentials exist as vibrations with certain allowed amplitudes determined by the number of photons employed, and field amplitudes are increased or decreased by adding or subtracting photons. Thus, the force exerted upon a charged particle as determined by the field it experiences, depends upon the number of photons in the corresponding potentials.

Weak forces

Weak forces are mediated by the electric charged W⁺ and W⁻ particles and the electric charge neutral Z⁰ particle, all with spin 1. The weak interaction is of short range, being effective over a distance of approximately 10⁻³ fm. Analysis of the weak force parallels that of the electromagnetic force, apart from the huge mass of the exchanged particles compared to the photon. The "weak force" charge introduced that couples to this force is called flavor.^[10] It is customaryu to refer to lepton flavor, rather than lepton charge, and individual lepton flavors are attributed to each family: electron flavor L_e for electrons; muon flavor L_μ for muons; tau flavor L_τ for taus.^[11] p. 38 However, the terminology is somewhat confused. Some authors do refer to both "weak charge" and to "lepton flavor".^[12] The issue may be that quarks and leptons behave differently under the weak force?

Nuclear forces

In 1935 Yukawa invented the meson theory for explaining the forces holding atomic nucleii together, an assemblage of neutrons and protons. The theory led to the experimental observation of the pion or π-meson and the muon or μ-meson. The behavior of nuclear forces was explained as an exchange of mesons. Today, mesons are considered to be quark-antiquark pairs, and a more refined theory of nuclear interactions is based upon quantum chromodynamics. Nuclear forces are not considered fundamental today, but are a consequence of the underlying strong forces between quarks, also called chromodynamic forces or color forces. On that basis, nuclear forces are an exchange force fundamentally based upon color, and only approximated by the Yukawa theory.

Chromodynamics

In the Standard Model of particle physics, quantum chromodynamics describes the strong force, also called the color force or chromo force, and relates it to the color charge as a property of quarks and gluons.^[13] Similar to magnetic charge, color is not seen directly, as all observable particles have no overall color.^[14] As with electric and magnetic charge, color charge can be multiple valued, conventionally called red, green or blue. Color charge is not assigned a numerical value; however, a superposition in equal amounts of all three colors leads to a "neutral" color charge, a somewhat stretched analogy with the superposition of red, green and blue light to produce white light.^[15] Thus, protons and neutrons, which consist of three quarks with all three colors are color-charge neutral. Quark combinations are held together by exchange of combinations of eight different gluons that also are color charged.^[16]^[17]^[18]^[19]

The color charges of antiquarks are anticolors. The combination of a quark and an antiquark to form a meson, such as a pion, kaon and so forth, leads to a neutral color charge.

Other charges

The charges above are related to fields and forces and to a local (coordinate dependent) Noether's theorem. Other charges are known, however, that are connected to global or discrete symmetries (no continuous parametric dependence, such as a coordinate dependence) and so to a global Noether's theorem, and have no relation to forces or fields.

One such charge in elementary particle theory is the baryonic charge, B, also referred to as a number, with value +1 for all baryons (notably, neutrons and protons, but also others like the Λ and Σ particles) and −1 for all antibaryons and zero for non-baryons. Quarks are an exception, and have a baryon number of 1/3. Unlike electric charge, which serves as a source for the electromagnetic field, baryon charge is not related to an associated "baryonic" field.^[11]

Finally, we mention the leptonic charge (also called lepton number) carried by leptons: electrons, muons, taus, and their associated neutrinos.^[15] Lepton charge depends upon the flavor of the lepton^[10] L_e, L_μ, L_τ with values +1 for the electron, muon and tau meson, and −1 for their antiparticles.^[11] The total lepton number L of a complex is:

L=\sum _{j=e,\mu ,\tau }L_{j}\ .

Non-leptons have a total lepton number L of zero. Within the Standard Model, lepton number is conserved for strong and electromagnetic interactions; however, it is not necessarily conserved in weak particle reactions.^[11]^[20]

+In a [[Quantization of the electromagnetic field|quantized theory]] based upon the potential formulation of Maxwell's equations, the electrical force between charged particles is an exchange force mediated by trading charge-neutral [[photon]]s. The electromagnetic potentials exist as vibrations with certain allowed amplitudes determined by the number of photons employed, and field amplitudes are increased or decreased by adding or subtracting photons. Thus, the force exerted upon a charged particle as determined by the field it experiences, depends upon the number of photons in the corresponding potentials.
+==Weak forces==
+Weak forces are mediated by the electric charged ''W<sup>+</sup>'' and ''W<sup>−</sup>'' particles and the electric charge neutral ''Z<sup>0</sup>'' particle, all with spin 1. The weak interaction is of short range, being effective over a distance of approximately 10<sup>−3</sup> fm. Analysis of the weak force parallels that of the electromagnetic force, apart from the huge mass of the exchanged particles compared to the photon. The "weak force" charge introduced that couples to this force is called ''flavor''.<ref name=Tipler/> It is customaryu to refer to lepton flavor, rather than lepton charge, and individual lepton flavors are attributed to each family: electron flavor ''L<sub>e</sub>'' for electrons; muon flavor ''L<sub>&mu;</sub>'' for muons; tau flavor ''L<sub>&tau;</sub>'' for taus.<ref name=Boyarkin/> p. 38
+However, the terminology is somewhat confused. Some authors do refer to both "weak charge" and to "lepton flavor".<ref name=Nagashima/> The issue may be that quarks and leptons behave differently under the weak force?
+==Nuclear forces==
+In 1935 [http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1949/yukawa-bio.html Yukawa] invented the [[meson]] theory for explaining the forces holding atomic nucleii together, an assemblage of neutrons and protons. The theory led to the experimental observation of the [[pion]] or &pi;-meson and the [[muon]] or &mu;-meson. The behavior of nuclear forces was explained as an exchange of mesons. Today, mesons are considered to be quark-antiquark pairs, and a more refined theory of nuclear interactions is based upon [[quantum chromodynamics]]. Nuclear forces are not considered fundamental today, but are a consequence of the underlying ''strong forces'' between quarks, also called chromodynamic forces or color forces. On that basis, nuclear forces are an exchange force fundamentally based upon color, and only approximated by the Yukawa theory.
+==Chromodynamics==
+In the [[Standard Model]] of particle physics, [[quantum chromodynamics]] describes the ''strong force'', also called the ''color force'' or ''chromo force'', and relates it to the '''color charge''' as a property of [[quark]]s and [[gluon]]s.<ref name=Webb/> Similar to magnetic charge, ''color'' is not seen directly, as all observable particles have no overall color.<ref name=Watson/>  As with electric and magnetic charge, color charge can be multiple valued, conventionally called ''red, green'' or ''blue''.  Color charge is not assigned a numerical value; however, a superposition in equal amounts of all three colors leads to a "neutral" color charge, a somewhat stretched analogy with the superposition of red, green and blue light to produce white light.<ref name=Han/> Thus, protons and neutrons, which consist of three quarks with all three colors are color-charge neutral. Quark combinations are held together by exchange of combinations of eight different [[gluon]]s that also are color charged.<ref name=Rosen/><ref name=Gothard/><ref name=Greenberger/><ref name=Greenberg/>
+The color charges of ''anti''quarks are ''anti''colors. The combination of a quark and an antiquark to form a [[meson]], such as a [[pion]], [[kaon]] and so forth, leads to a neutral color charge.
+==Other charges==
+The charges above are related to fields and forces and to a ''local'' (coordinate dependent) Noether's theorem. Other charges are known, however, that are connected to ''global'' or ''discrete'' symmetries (no continuous parametric dependence, such as a coordinate dependence) and so to a global Noether's theorem, and have no relation to forces or fields.
+One such charge in elementary particle theory is the '''baryonic charge''', ''B'', also referred to as a ''number'', with value +1 for all baryons (notably, neutrons and protons, but also others like the &Lambda; and &Sigma; particles) and −1 for all ''anti''baryons and zero for non-baryons. Quarks are an exception, and have a baryon number of 1/3.  Unlike electric charge, which serves as a source for the [[Maxwell's equations|electromagnetic field]], baryon charge is not related to an associated "baryonic" field.<ref name=Boyarkin/>
+Finally, we mention the '''leptonic charge''' (also called lepton ''number'') carried by [[lepton]]s: electrons, muons, taus, and their associated [[neutrino]]s.<ref name=Han/> Lepton charge depends upon the ''flavor'' of the lepton<ref name=Tipler/> ''L<sub>e</sub>, L<sub>&mu;</sub>, L<sub>&tau;</sub>'' with values +1 for the electron, muon and tau meson, and −1 for their antiparticles.<ref name=Boyarkin/> The ''total'' lepton number ''L'' of a complex is:
 :<math>L=\sum_{j=e,\mu,\tau} L_j \ . </math>
-Non-leptons have a total lepton flavor ''L'' of zero. Lepton charge is not necessarily conserved in particle reactions.<ref name=Boyarkin/>p. 38
+Non-leptons have a total lepton number ''L'' of zero. Within the Standard Model, lepton number is conserved for strong and electromagnetic interactions; however, it is not necessarily conserved in weak particle reactions.<ref name=Boyarkin/><ref name=Quinn/>

+Some care is needed in looking at this principle because of the phenomenon of [[spontaneous symmetry breaking]]. For example, as a cubic ferroelectric material like BaTiO<sub>3</sub> is cooled below its Curie point, its cubic symmetry is replaced by a tetragonal ferroelectric symmetry as the frequency corresponding to a  tetragonal elastic distortion tends to zero ([[Goldstone's theorem]]). The overall cubic symmetry of the crystal is retained because the crystal breaks into finite domains, each with a differently oriented tetragonal axis, so that ''statistically'' the symmetry of an infinite crystal still is cubic.
