Question

What is the magnitude of charge on an
electron?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Elementary charge ( e)

Equal to the charge on one proton or the magnitude of charge on one electron, which is 1.6 × 1 0 − 19 C 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,\text C 1.

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\mathtt{\orange{Answer}}}}$

The charge of the electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge (e) but bearing a negative sign. Since the value of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs (C), then the charge of the electron is -1.602 x 10-19 C.
