What type of electrical charge does a proton have?

Answer 1

positive

Answer 2

positive and negative. On the atomic level, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.

electric charge, basic property of matter carried by some elementary particles that governs how the particles are affected by an electric or magnetic field. Electric charge, which can be positive or negative, occurs in discrete natural units and is neither created nor destroyed.

Electric charge, which can be positive or negative, occurs in discrete natural units and is neither created nor destroyed.What makes an electron and a proton opposite electric charges?

First of all, whereas an electron is an elementary particle, a proton is not. The proton consists of three quarks, which carry fractional electric charges: a down quark (charge -1/3) and two up quarks (charge +2/3).

As to why Nature favors this particle content in our universe as opposed to some other combination of fundamental and composite particle.If there is a fundamental mathematical/physical reason why only this particular combination can happen, it remains yet to be discovered. And if there isn’t… perhaps there is no reason at all. The universe, if it exists at all, must have some properties, and perhaps it is pointless to wonder why it has this particular set of properties as opposed to some other.

All in all, a good question, but one that may not have an answer rooted in physics.
