The Electrons and the Protons.
A negative electrical charge occurs when you have more electrons than protons (electrons are negatively charged, and if you have more -'s than +'s the overall charge will be negative).
Phosphoric acid can produce electricity in a fuel cell by reacting with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction between phosphoric acid and hydrogen generates electrons and protons, which can then be used to produce electrical energy. The movement of these electrons through an external circuit creates an electric current, resulting in the production of electricity.
Electric energy is produced by the movement of electrons. When electrons flow through a conductor, such as a wire, they create an electric current which can be harnessed to power electrical devices. This movement of electrons is the basis for generating electricity in many everyday applications.
Protons don't really relate to electricity. Electron do because electricity is the flow of electrons through a wire. Protons don't really relate to electricity except in some nuclear physics applications. Electrons do because electricity, by definition, is the flow of electrons through a wire. In its most fundamental form, electricity is the movement of charged particles. Protons qualify because they are charged particles. We don't usually cause protons to "flow" like we commonly do electrons, though we do use them frequently in particle accelerators. But protons are not generally thought of as associated with "normal" electricity, which is usually considered to be the movement of electrons. It is the electron that is at the heart of electricity in the electronic world we live in. Wikipedia has all these facts and more. A link is provided.
An electrical charge is held by particles called electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge, and they are found within atoms. When there is an imbalance of electrons or protons, an object can have a net electrical charge.
Protons and electrons have an electrical charge.
The Electrons and the Protons.
Electricity is the flow of electrons, not protons.
Protons are positive, remember pro is +. Electrons are negative.

Negative ... which is what electrons are, (whereas protons are positive).
No, protons, electrons, and neutrons do not flow through wires in the same way. In electrical currents, it is primarily electrons that move through the wire, creating the flow of electricity. Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms and do not move through the wire, while neutrons, which are also in the nucleus, do not carry any charge and do not participate in electrical conduction.
Electrons: Negative Protons: Positive Neutrons: Neutral
Electrons are not part of the nucleus, but they orbit the protons there because protons and electrons have opposite electrical charges.
