Detailed explanation-1: -It is experimentally found that the charge of an electron is 1.6020*10^-19 C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrons have an electric charge of −1, which is equal but opposite to the charge of a proton, which is +1.
Detailed explanation-3: -So one singular electron with no proton to balance it out must have a negative charge equivalent to the number of electrons more than protons. Thus the overall charge must be 1−. An electron has a charge of 1−.
Detailed explanation-4: -An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound). An electron that is bound to an atom is one of the three primary types of particles within the atom–the other two are protons and neutrons.
