Question

The charge of an electron is
a. -2.

b.-1.

c.0.

d.+1.

Answer 1

Any guesses?

Answer 2

-1?
1.602E-19 coulombs. so the closest relevant answer would be -1?

Answer 3

I noticed there were no units! So I think it is -1, just because the charge of the electron is \(-1e\). Of all of them, I think -1 is the best, just because we say electrons are negative. It doesn't give units.. So my guess is the same as yours.

Answer 4

Thanks!

Answer 5

You're welcome! Good luck!

Answer 6

That was the last question and i got a 90% on it, thanks so much! raised my grade by 4% too!

Answer 7

Lots of times people say protons have a \(+1\) charge, and electrons have \(-1\) charge. And quarks can be \(+\frac{2}{3}\) or \(-\frac{1}{3}\). They are really being considered as multiples of \(e\), the "elementary charge," which is the charge of one proton. :)
