By moving a stream of electrons, we have an Electric Current. Which is very useful and we can make 'electric light' out of the current flow.
Also we can generate a magnetic field with our current flow. Such as in 'electric motors'.
We can also use the charge on the electrons to charge up an insulated piece of material. Such as in a 'foil electrometer'.
Or in an 'electro static voltmeter', useful for very high voltages. These also respond to the RMS of a voltage.

What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
What charge is a negative?
A charge which is not a positive charge is a negative charge.
Is it true that an electrons has a negative charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have a neutral charge. Added: Electrons always have a negative charge, value: minus 1.602*10-19 Coulomb.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
What is the resulting charge of a surface that gains electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge. Therefore, an atom having extra electrons is a negative ion.
What charge is electrons?
Electrons charge is a negative
What subatomic particle has a very small mass and a negative charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. When an element had more electrons than protons, it tends to have a negative charge.
Why do electrons not have a charge?
They do have a charge, it's negative
What particles around the atom have negative charge?
only the electrons have a negative charge but they go around the nucleus
What is the negative charge in atoms?
Electrons have an electrical negative charge.
What charges do proton an electrons have?
Pprotons have a positive charge neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. However the one with the smallest mass is electrons.
What kind of charge does electrons have?
Electrons have a negative charge.
What type of charge do the electrons have?
Electrons have a negative charge.
What kind of charge does electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge.
What type of charge do atoms have that gain electrons?
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
Are electrons neutral?
Electrons are a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral.
Which part of the atomis responsible for creating electricity?
The electron is the part of the atom that accounts for electricity.
