Question

What is a negative charge called?

Answer 1

1. In atoms, negative Charged particles are known as electrons.
2. J.J Thomson 1897 described the existence of electrons.
3. J.J Thomson passed electricity at very high voltage via a gas at very low pressure in a discharge tube.
4. Streams of minute particles were given out by the Cathode in the negative electrode. These streams of particles are called cathode rays.
5. The cathode rays consist of minute, negatively charged particles that are known as electrons.
6. The charge present on the electron is equal to $1.60\times {10}^{-19}\mathrm{C}$.
