The present accepted value of charge on electron=-1.6022x10^-19C.
When calculating mass on electron= e/(e/m)=(1.6022 x 10^-19)/(1.758820 x 10^11)
Why is e taken as 1.6022x10^-19? what happense to the negative sign?
Magnitude of charge of electron = e= + 1.602 x 10-19C
Charge of electron = -e
So the charge on the electron = - 1.602 x 10-19C
In calculations the magnitude of the charge is considered.
