The charge on electron and proton is an assumption, these particles have attraction towards each other, the electron was assumed to be negative and proton positive it may be reversed some where in the universe.
By definition, the electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It has no known substructure and is believed to be a point particle.
You may note that the positron or antielectron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron. The positron has a positive charge, and the same mass as an electron.

Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
What part of the atom has a negative charge is the?
Electron Carries A Negative Charge.
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
What is the parcticle in an atom that has a negative charge?
The electron has a negative charge.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
Do electrons have a Negative Charge or a positive charge?
They are ALWAYS negatively charged. If positively charged it would be a positron and not an electron.
What part of the atom has a negative charge is the?
Electron Carries A Negative Charge.
What has a negative charge Proton electron or neutron?
An electron has a negative charge.
Does an neutron or atom or an electron or proton have a negative charge?
Neutrons does not contain a charge. electron has the negative charge.
What does a electron have?
Electron's have a negative charge, Protons have a positive charge.
Define negative charge without using mass of electron?
Mass and charge are not connected. Negative charge is the charge carried by an electron.
Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
What is the parcticle in an atom that has a negative charge?
The electron has a negative charge.
What is the loss or gain of an electron?
electrons... and thus one unit of negative charge....
Give the electrical charge of electron?
The electrical charge of the electron is negative. Proton is positive Neutron is neutral Electron is negative
Does subatomic particle electron has no charge?
The electron has a negative electrical charge.
