∙ 12y agoThey are EXACTLY equal in size but opposite in sign. If their charges were even different by a factor of one in 10^34 (ie, one part in 1 followed by 34 zeros), then stars would be impossible: electrostatic repulsion would overwhelm gravitational attraction.

They have equal magnitudes and opposite signs.

What is proton electric charge?
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
What are the charges for an electron and a proton?
A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge
What are electrons held in their shells by?
The law of attraction. In an atom, there are three major components. A proton with a positive electric charge, a neutron with no electric charge, and an electron with a negative electric charge. In science, opposites attract, and since a proton is positively electric, and an electron is negatively electric, they're attracted to one another. This attraction between different polarities of electricity is electromagnetism.
What are the relative charges of proton neutron and electron?
Proton's have a positive charge, neutron'shave a neutral charge, electron's have a negative charge
What is the charge on a electron called?
the charge of a proton is called positive charge neutron- negative charge electron- no charge
What is the electric charge does proton have in electron?

The electric charge of a photon is how many times stronger the charge of an electron?
The electric charges of the proton and electron are equal in magnitude (size, strength), and opposite in sign.
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.
