==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The law of '''conservation of charge''' states that [[Electrical Charge|charge]] cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred from one [[Subatomic Particle|particle]] to another.

===About Conservation of Charge===
: The overall [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of the [[Universe]] is zero.
: If a [[Electrical Charge|charged]] [[subatomic Particle|particle]] comes into existence another [[subatomic Particle|particle]] with opposite [[Electrical Charge|charge]] must also come into existence.
: '''Conservation of charge''' can be applied to [[Fundamental Interactions|fundamental interactions]] to balance the [[Nuclear Equation|equations]] and to ascertain the types of [[Subatomic Particle|particles]] produced.
