Elementary charge, or e, of a proton!
An electrical charge in motion is called a current.

A positive charge is a positive electrical charge. Particles with no charge are called neutral particles.
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
A particle with a negative electrical charge is called an electron.

Having a charge it is called an ION. No charge means: same number of protons and electrons.
A particle with a negative electrical charge is called an electron.
Electrical charge is always quantized. In nature it is observed in units of + or - 1 esu (electrostatic unit), the charge of one proton or one electron. This is the smallest known stable charge. However, quarks, which make up protons have charges of + or - 1/3 or 2/3. So the smallest know quantum of charge is 1/3. But quarks are not stable individually; only when they are bound together in threes to form a proton.
