The charge of an electron is -1. Specifically, it is about -1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. The mass of an electron is about 9.109 x 10-31 kilograms, or about one 1836th that of a proton.
Millikan found the charge of an electron by his famous oil drop experiment. J J Thomson determined the specific charge of the electron. That means the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass. With these two values one can find the mass of electron by dividing the charge value by its specific charge.
The specific charge of an electron is its charge-to-mass ratio. It quantifies how the charge of an electron compares to its mass and is approximately -1.76 x 10^11 coulombs per kilogram. This property plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of electrons in electromagnetic fields.
Electrons have a negative charge. When an element had more electrons than protons, it tends to have a negative charge.
The proton has much more mass than the electron, by a factor of 1836 times, a ratio called "mu". Recent astronomical research suggests mu may have changed by 20 parts per million in the last 12 billion years, but I plan to wait at least a billion years for confirmation!
No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.
The electron has a charge of -1; but the electron has a mass.
Mass and charge are not connected. Negative charge is the charge carried by an electron.
The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.
Modern Mass Spectrometry is the alternative method to measure the charge to mass ratio of an electron.
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.
Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.

In the atom a proton has the charge +1 and the electron the charge -1.
A proton has a positive electrical charge and is approximately 2000 times the mass of an electron.
Millikan's oil-drop experiment demonstrated that charge is quantized, and that the quantum of charge ... the 'elementary' charge ... is 1.6 x 10-19 Coulomb.
A positron is an electron's antiparticle. It has the same mass as an electron, but an opposite electrical charge.
Millikan found the charge of an electron by his famous oil drop experiment. J J Thomson determined the specific charge of the electron. That means the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass. With these two values one can find the mass of electron by dividing the charge value by its specific charge.
