Positive, positron's are the antimatter equivalent of an electron and therefor the charge is reversed.

Electrons negative charge?

Yes and positrons are positive!


What type of charge does beta radiation have?

Beta radiation can have a negative charge (β-) or a positive charge (β+). Negative beta particles are electrons, while positive beta particles are positrons.


Do electrons attract positrons and vice versa?

Yes. And when this occurs, they will collide and annihilate one another.


If you have 3 neutrons and 2 electrons what charge do you have?

-2 neutrons = 0 = no charge electrons = -1 = negative charge positrons = +1 = positive charge


Why beta rays get negative?

Beta rays do not have a negative charge. Beta particles (electrons or positrons) emitted during beta decay can have a negative or positive charge, depending on whether it is an electron or a positron. The negative charge is carried by the electron beta particle.


Are Beta ray Negative or Positive?

Beta particles can be both positively AND negatively charged; theyare either high-energy, high-speed electrons (negative standard charge) or positrons (positive standard charge) emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei such as potassium-40 ( 40K)


The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?

The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.


Do positrons have a positive charge?

yes it does. (pro) meaning positive. the proton identifies the atom. change the proton of a specific element and it is no longer that specific element. the element changes when the number of protons change. the protons are the same as the atomic number. ALWAYS


Is a positive plus a negative make a positive or a negative?

What is a negative - positive?

Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive


Are gamma rays positrons?

No, they are not.Gamma rays are photons - just like light. They are electrically neutral. They move at the speed of light. Positrons, also known as anti-electrons, have a positive charge. They move at speeds less than the speed of light.


How is dividing integers similar to multiplying integers with the resulting sign?

The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
