Solution

As answered previously...

A point in space with no mass or observable size but with a finite charge is called a point charge. A point charge has a charge only but no observable mass. It is a hypothetical assumption to neglect the gravitational force of attraction between the charge particles in a system of charges.

An electric charge is something that exhibits an electric field around itself and interacts with other charged bodies.
