No measurable effect at all. The electrons which cause the negative charge have such an unbelievably small mass that billions of them cannot make any observable change to the mass.

Define negative charge without using mass of electron?

Mass and charge are not connected. Negative charge is the charge carried by an electron.


What is Mass and Charge?

Mass of a body is a positive quantity. The gravitational force between two masses is always attractive. Electric charge can be positive or negative or zero.


Is there an affect on the mass of an object with a negative charge?

If you compare the mass of a positron to an electron, or of a proton to an anti-proton, and so forth, the mass is the same, even though the charge is reversed. Negative charge does not mean negative mass, it has no bearing on the mass.


Elementary particle that carries a negative charge and almost no mass?

A electron is a subatomic particle outside the nucleus carrying a negative charge and very little mass. Other mass is negligible mass or a negative charge.


A neutron has a negative charge and a mass smaller than the mass of a proton?

Yes, the neutron has a negative charge and a mass that is smaller than the mass of a proton.


Which subatomic particles have very little mass and a negative charge-?

You're probably thinking of electrons, whose mass is much smaller than nucleons but also have a negative charge. Indeed, the electron has the smallest amount of mass of any particle with a negative charge.


How you defined briefly negative charge without using mass of electron?

The charge has nothing to do with the mass, so there's no difficulty: A negative charge is one having the same sign as the charge on an electron. If you don't want electrons mentioned at all: A negative charge is one having the opposite sign as the charge on a proton.


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.


How do you call a subatomic particle that has no mass and a negative charge?

No such particle exists. All particles with charge also have mass -- no exceptions. Every particle with zero mass also has zero charge -- no exceptions.


Do protons have positive charge neutrons have negative charge and electrons have no charge?

No, protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge and neutrons have no charge


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.


What is subatomic particle with a negative charge and very little mass?

electron
