A positron, which has a positive charge, has the same charge as a proton. The positron is antimatter, and is the antiparticle of the electron, hence its other name, the anti-electron. The electron has a charge of negative one, so its anti-particle, the positron, has a charge of plus one, the same as the proton. Links are provided below to related questions.
