Best Answer

With relation to an electron the proton has a charge of -1, since the proton's charge is opposite of the electron's. However, the common notation of charge is relative to a proton's- therefore, it is more accurate to leave things in terms of a proton's charge. In terms of proton charge, a proton has a charge of +1.

A proton has a +1 charge. The +1 represents the polarity and the quantity of the charge the proton carries. The charge is one positive fundamental unit, or 1.602 × 10−19 coulomb.
