Question

What is the charge on an electron?

-1
0
+1
-2

Answer 1

An electron has a negative charge of one

An neutron has no charge (hence, neutral)

An proton has a positive charge of one

~

Answer 2

_____________________________

As we know that the charge of the electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge that is (e) but bearing a negative sign.

Since, the value of the elementary charge is roughly

$1.602 \: \times \: {10}^{ - 19} C$

then, the charge of the electron is :

$- 1.602 \: \times \: {10}^{ - 19} C$

Here, C is the unit of charge is Coulomb.

So, the charge on an electron is (-1).
