Electrons and Protons represent actual charges, they do not aquire them. the difference between the two constitutes an energy force, but no one knows what energy is. It is more accurate to ask how charges acquired the names "electron" and "positron", which is an etymological issue.

WHAT Are the two types of electric charges found on electrons and protons?
Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.
Where is the positive ad negative charge located in an atom?
In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
What would be attracted to a proton?
Electrons are attracted to protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Due to the laws of magnetics these opposing charges will attract.
How do electrical charges behave?
Electric charges behave as a matter and it contains three building blocks of matter, they are :electrons, protons and neutrons of which two are electrically charge
Do protons and electrons accelerate toward each other?
Yes, they do. Protons are negetive charges and Electrons are positive charges.
What are the electrical charges of protons and electrons?
Protons are positive, remember pro is +. Electrons are negative.
WHAT Are the two types of electric charges found on electrons and protons?
Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.
What are the charges of Protons Neutronsand Electrons?
Protons have + charge and electrons have - charge.Neutrons does not contain any charge.
Why electrons are attracted to protons?
Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.
In an atom is the charges of the electrons being cancelled by the charges of the protons?
yes
Why are eletrons attached to protons in the nucleus?
Electrons are not part of the nucleus, but they orbit the protons there because protons and electrons have opposite electrical charges.
What charges electricity protons or electrons?
electrons. the elcetric current is due to flow of electrons
Which particles in an atom have electrical charges?
The Electrons and the Protons.
What is the definition of atomic charges?
The difference between the positive charges (protons) and the negative charges (electrons).
Does an atom have more positive charges than negative charges?
No , an atom always has equal numbers of protons and electrons. If it has more charges of one kind than another is called an ion. Obviously this is caused by the number of protons and electrons compared to each other. If it has more positive charges, it has more protons than electrons, making it a positive ion. If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
Charges for protons neutrons and electrons for copper?
the protons have a +1 charge, the neutrons zero charge and the electrons -1 charge
