The determination of charge of an electron was done by R.A. Millikan in 1913,

In R.A. Millikan's working (Millikan's oil drop experiment) explained as follows

the terminal velocity of charged oil drop is measured under two conditions viz. under gravity alone and under the combined action of gravity and electric field oppose the gravity . Negatively charge drop is selected and its motion is studied.I think it's due to this electron has (-)ve charge.In fact, it is a very long experiment ,i can't explain all of it.

A negatively charged particle?

A negatively charged particle is an electron, which is a fundamental subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. Electrons carry a negative charge equal in magnitude to the positive charge of a proton, and they play a crucial role in chemical bonding and electrical conductivity.
