  Wormholes are a solution for General Relativity field equations which
characterize a passage or a tunnel that connects two different regions of
space-time and is filled by some sort of exotic matter, that does not satisfy
the energy conditions. On the other hand, it is known that in extended theories
of gravity, the extra degrees of freedom once provided may allow the energy
conditions to be obeyed and, consequently, the matter content of the wormhole
to be non-exotic. In this work, we obtain, as a novelty in the literature,
solutions for charged wormholes in the $f(R,T)$ extended theory of gravity. We
show that the presence of charge in these objects may be a possibility to
respect some stability conditions for their metric. Also, remarkably, the
energy conditions are respected in the present approach.
