Compared to a proton an electron has?

Compared to a proton, an electron has a much smaller mass (approximately 1/1836 times the mass of a proton) and a negative charge. Electrons are located outside the nucleus of an atom, while protons are found within the nucleus.


Is proton charge of -1?

No, a proton's charge is +1.


How can you use the word proton in a sentence?

A proton is a single positive charge in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons determine what the atom is. Hydrogen has one proton, compared to eight for oxygen.


In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?

Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.


What is relative in 'relative charge'?

Relative means that it is compared to something. For example, the relative charge of a proton is +1 and it is relative to that proton. The relative charge of an electron is -1 relative to protons. That means it is exactly the same, but opposite. The relative charge of an up quark is +2/3, and that means that the charge of that quark is 2/3 of the charge of the proton. It depends what it is compared to.


Proton have a high or low charge?

A proton has a charge of +1 elementary charges. Whether you consider this "high" or "low" depends what you compare it with; it is certainly a small amount, compared to the units you deal with in everyday life, and compared to the derive SI unit for electrical charge (the coulomb).


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.


What proton has a charge that is opposite the charge of?

An electron? No, the Anti-proton is the negative charged opposite of the positively charged Proton.


A proton has a what?

A proton has a positive charge.


Does a proton have a poitive charge?

Yes, a proton has a positive charge.


How do you know the charge of a proton?

By definition, a proton is positive, so a proton will always have a positive charge.


How big is a proton compared to an electron?

A proton is about 1,836 times heavier than an electron. In terms of size, the proton is also larger than an electron. However, the exact size of both particles is extremely small, with the proton being about 100,000 times smaller than an atom.
