Positive charges repel each other then how can many protons be found in the nuclei of all atoms -except Hydrogen- atoms?

We don't know very much about the nucleus of an atom but there are several theories about nuclear binding forces for example, 1- neutral neutrons surround the positively charged protons so repulsive force becomes inactive, 2- protons and neutrons revolve in different nuclear shells as electrons outside the nucleus, 3- there are quarks and gluons within the protons and neutrons which create nuclear binding forces between proton and neutron, between neutron and neutron and even between proton and proton.

Protons are present in nucleus so how current flow with these particles as conventional current?
Protons are not usually involved as current carriers, except in a solution that contains hydrogen ions (i.e., protons).Protons are not usually involved as current carriers, except in a solution that contains hydrogen ions (i.e., protons).Protons are not usually involved as current carriers, except in a solution that contains hydrogen ions (i.e., protons).Protons are not usually involved as current carriers, except in a solution that contains hydrogen ions (i.e., protons).
What atomic force holds the nucleus of an atom together and why is this force necessary?
The nucleus is held together by what is officially known as the strong nuclear force. Since the nucleus of all elements except hydrogen contains more than one proton, and all protons repell all other protons (since they have positive electric charges, and like charges repell, as stated in Coulomb's Law) any nucleus other than a hydrogen nucleus would simply explode from electrostatic repulsion, if not for the strong nuclear force holding it together.
Which particle or particles make up the nucleus?
Every nucleus (except for Hydrogen) consists of protons and neutrons. The hydrogen nucleus is only a proton.
Is an atom a proton?
An atom is composed of protons and electrons which is similar to the atomic number, and neutrons (every other atom except hydrogen-1 isotope).
What is contained in the atomic nucleus?
Protons and neutrons, except in hydrogen which has just one proton.
Can atoms contain massive central regions that have a positive charge?
Yes, this is the nucleus. It is composed of a number of protons and neutrons (except Hydrogen, which has 1 proton and zero neutrons). Both protons and neutrons have about the same mass (which is much more massive relative to the electron). A proton has a positive electric charge, and a neutron does not have an electric charge.
What contains in a nucleus of an atom?
Positely charged protons and uncharged neutrons (except hydrogen- one proton).
What are all atoms made of?
Protons and electrons; all except hydrogen-1 also contain neutrons.
Why does a neutral atom have the same number of protons?
Net charge. When the negative charge of the number of electrons equals the positive charge of the number of protons, it is said to be neutral. Having unequal numbers of electrons to protons, a net charge is then measurable. This atom is then said to be an ION or to be IONIZED. That is except for Hydrogen, but well, that's another matter altogether!
What are all the particles present inside the nucleus?
Electrons,neutrons,protons,beta particles,alpha particles,gamma rays,radium
What is composed mostly of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom is composed solely of protons and neutrons, except for the most common hydrogen isotope, which only has a proton.
Which of the following subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of the atom?
The protons and the neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom.
