Relation With Electric Charge and Isospin
The Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula relates isospin and electric charge
where I3 is the third component of isospin and Q is the particle's charge.
Isospin creates multiplets of particles whose average charge is related to the hypercharge by:
since the hypercharge is the same for all members of a multiplet, and the average of the I3 values is 0.
