  The geometry of the elementary charge is studied in the framework of the
concept of space considered as a tessellation lattice ('tessellattice'), which
has recently been developed by M. Bounias and the author. The
descriptive-geometric sense of the electric and magnetic fields and their
carriers - photons - is analyzed. The notion of the scalar and vector
potentials of a charged particle and their behavior at the motion of the
particle along a path is investigated in detail. Based on the potentials, the
Lagrangian leading to the Maxwell equations is constructed. The distinctive
properties of the inerton and the photon - two basic elementary excitations, or
quasi-particles of the space tessellattice - are discussed. Summarizing, we may
say that the work suggests the detailed interpretation of the Maxwell equations
in terms of the submicroscopic approach to Nature.
