Chargedness

/ˈtʃɑːrdʒdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being charged; the condition of having received a charge or holding electrical potential.

Etymology

From 'charged' (past participle of 'charge') plus '-ness' suffix. This modern formation is primarily used in physics and chemistry to describe the state of particles with electrical properties.

Kelly Says

In physics, saying 'the chargedness of the electron' sounds technical and precise. The word's existence lets scientists discuss abstract properties as though they were tangible qualities—language literally shapes how we think about invisible forces.
