Electric Charge density, definition, explanation

Definition:

"Electric charge density is the amount of charge on unit volume space or surface or area."


Explanation:

Electric charge density is the density of charge on unit area, the charge could be less or  more, and charge could be positive or negative.
as shown in figure 1 below, in which there is positive charge on surface but less and on figure 2, there is more positive charge.
So area in figure 2 have more electric charge density than figure 1.
The area or volume could be one dimensional, two dimensional and three dimensional. 


Formula:

The electric charge density can be written in the form,
Where p is the charge density and q is the amount of charge and v is the volume of space and unit area. we can replace the v by A, when there is unit area.
