1.	Why electron has negative charge ?
Answer» Electrons are designated to be the carriers of negative charge. The assignment of negative and positive to electrons and protons respectively can be attributed to Benjamin Franklin. He could have easily reversed this designation. Like all charged particles, negative charges create electric fields around them Because atom consists of 3 subatomic particles since we have to maintain neutrality of atom and proton which is penetrated in nucleus has positive charge so overall charge on nucleus comes out to be positive now how to balance the neutrality we only left with electrons which maintain negative charge because it have the tendency to gain electron. B, cause it has tendecy to transfer
