Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.

∙ 11y agoYes, because momentum is equal to mass*velocity and a proton has a greater mass

If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?
It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
How big is a proton compared to an electron?
They have the same charge but its opposite: electron is 1.602x10^-19C with negative charge proton is 1.602x10^-19C with positive charge proton is over 1800 time bigger than electron
Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
What particle most resembles a proton?
The particle that most resembles a proton could either be a neutron or an electron, and we'll have to explain that. The proton has about the same mass as the neutron, while the electron has only about 1/1836th the mass of a proton. The masses of the proton and neutron are similar. And both particles are found in the nucleus of atoms. The proton has the same electrical field strength as an electron (only of opposite polarity), while the neutron has no charge. The proton and electron have the same coulomb charge on them, except the sign of the charge. Both particles are carriers of fundamental electrical charges. In these two ways, the proton could be said to be like either the neutron or electron. And how the observer "looks" at them will determine which "likeness" he sees.
If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?
The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.
If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?
It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.
Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
Does the proton the same mass as the electrons?
No, the proton's mass is roughly 2000 times that of the electron.
How big is a proton compared to an electron?
They have the same charge but its opposite: electron is 1.602x10^-19C with negative charge proton is 1.602x10^-19C with positive charge proton is over 1800 time bigger than electron
What is the size of electron proton and neutron?
The electron is the smallest having about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron, which means that basically an electron has no mass. The neutron and proton weigh the same both having a mass of 1.
How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?
A hydrogen atom, H, is a proton (as nucleus) with one electron orbitting around it. A proton is just (the same as above) one proton, which lacks the electron: H+ .
Do protons and electrons have the same amount of electrical charge and have the same mass?
Each proton has a positive charge. Each electron has a negative charge. The 'size' of the charge on every proton and every electron is the same. Every proton has the mass of about 1,850 electrons.
Does a neutron have the same mass as an electron or a proton?
A neutron has approximately the same mass as a proton. Electrons have much lower mass.
Is a proton the opposite of a electron?
No. The opposite of an electron is an antielectron or positron, which has exactly the same mass but opposite charge. A proton has opposite charge from that of an electron, but it is about 1836 times more massive.
What is the proton and electron of lithium?
3 protons and same for electrons
