This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
ElectricCharge(x) → ElectricalQuality(x)
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is an ‘electric charge’ then x is an ‘electrical quality’
