Quarks are massive particles of spin-1 ⁄ 2, implying that they are fermions. They carry an electric charge of − 1 ⁄ 3 e (down-type quarks) or + 2 ⁄ 3 e (up-type quarks). For comparison, an electron has a charge of −1 e. They also carry colour charge, which is the equivalent of the electric charge for the strong interaction.
