A positron, which has a positive charge, has the same charge as a proton. The positron is antimatter, and is the antiparticle of the electron, hence its other name, the anti-electron. The electron has a charge of negative one, so its anti-particle, the positron, has a charge of plus one, the same as the proton. Links are provided below to related questions.

2 subatomic particles have the same charge?
Protons have positively charged particles, Electrons have negatively charged particles, and Neutrons don't have and charged particles
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 do particles with the same charge interact?
Particles with the same charge will interact by electrostatic repulsion.
How does magnetism effect gamma radiation?
No. Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment.
Are electrons and positrons the same?
No. A positron is the antiparticle of an electron, meaning it has the same mass but an opposite charge and magnetic moment.
What an electrical charge?
AnswerElectric charge (or electrical charge) is nothing but property possessed by various particles including the protons and electrons in atoms. Protons always have a positive charge and electrons a negative charge. There are also other particles such as positrons which have a positive charge and anti-protons which have a negative charge. Many of these (protons and anti-protons) are also made up of quarks which have a charge of 1/3. An accumulation of particles with the same charge generates a larger and larger electrostatic field the more and more that accumulate. The magnitude of charge for a proton is +1.602 x 10 -19 Coulombs while that of an electron is -1.602 x 10 -19
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
Does nucleus changes its charge while emitting from beta and gamma particles simultaneously?
No, the nucleus does not change its overall charge when emitting beta and gamma particles simultaneously. Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons emitted during beta decay, whereas gamma particles are high-energy photons emitted during gamma decay. Both types of particles are neutral, so the overall charge of the nucleus remains the same.
What force do charged particles exert?
Charged particles exert an electric force on other charged particles in their vicinity. This force can either be attractive (between particles of opposite charge) or repulsive (between particles of the same charge).
What is the color of a positron?
Color in the traditional sense doesn't make much sense; an electron or a positron (anti-electron) is much, much smaller than the wavelength of light, so it would not influence it. "Color charge" on the other hand is unrelated to our traditional definition of color - it is more like a whimsical name. (It's actually a characteristic assigned to things in the quantum mechanical universe.) If you mean what is called "color charge" as in quarks, it does not apply. Electrons and positrons are fundamental particles, and they have no color charge.
Which property causes atomic particles to attract or repel each other?
The property that causes atomic particles to attract or repel each other is their electric charge. Oppositely charged particles (positive and negative) attract each other, while particles with the same charge (positive-to-positive or negative-to-negative) repel each other.
