We investigate the presence of electric charge in primordial black holes (PBHs) up to the present time. It is found that PBHs can possess a non-zero net charge at their formation, either due to Poisson fluctuations during horizon crossing or high-energy particle collisions. Despite rapid discharge processes such as particle accretion or quantum particle emission, PBHs with maximum rotation can generate magnetic fields that could shield them from discharge. Additionally, the plasma within virialized dark matter haloes can endow PBHs with a net negative charge, considering that electrons are the lightest and fastest charge carriers. We report charge-to-mass ratios ranging from 10-31 C/kg to 10-15 C/kg for PBHs within the mass windows allowing them to constitute the entirety of the dark matter in the Universe.
We explore the possibility that primordial black holes (PBHs) contain electric charge down to the present day. We find that PBHs should hold a non-zero net charge at their formation, due to either Poisson fluctuations at horizon crossing or high-energy particle collisions. Although initial charge configurations are subject to fast discharge processes through particle accretion or quantum particle emission, we show that maximally rotating PBHs could produce magnetic fields able to shield them from discharge. Moreover, given that electrons are the lightest and fastest charge carriers, we show that the plasma within virialised dark matter haloes can endow PBHs with net negative charge. We report charge-to-mass ratios between 10-31 C/kg and 10-15 C/kg for PBHs within the mass windows that allow them to constitute the entirety of the dark matter in the Universe.
