What is the Charge on an Electron

Answer : 1.6 x 10-19 coulomb is the charge that an electron carries.

An electron is a unit of matter with the symbol e– or e. It is polarized in a bad way. Charge, mass, spin, and other attributes are inherited by an electron. 

The electron’s values include the structure of the atom, its mass, and a quantum theory property called the electron’s spin, as well as associated units.
