A hole is a place where an electron is missing. Since the electron has a negative charge, the lack of an electron produces a net positive charge.

What does it mean when an object has a positive charge?
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
It has lost electrons, resulting in a more positive charge.
What is the charge of a positive sodium ion?
The charge of a positive sodium ion is +1 C.
Is the nucleus positive due to the neutrons?
No. Neutrons have a neutral charge. The nucleus is positive due to the presence of protons which have a positive charge.
Alpha particle charge?
positive charge
Does a black hole have positive or negative charge?
A black hole can have a positive charge, negative charge, or no charge. It all depends on the charges of the material that fall into it.
In a photocell what is the charge of a hole?
The charge of a "hole" is positive (+ive), it is the lack of an electron (negative/-ive) to make the atom "neutral".
Why do holes migrate in direction of the applied electric field?
It might help to consider a hole as a positive particle (or rather, quasi-particle). Any positive particle gets attracted by a negative charge, and repelled by a positive charge. Of course, in reality it is the electrons that move, to fill out the hole - but the effect is the same.
Does hole exists practically in conduction of current?
A hole is a place where an electron is missing. Such places exist; and for practical purposes, it is convenient to think of them as independent positive charge carriers.
A charge on a proton?
The charge on a proton is deemed to be POSITIVE. NB The charge on an electron is deemed to be NEGATIVE ( opposite charge) The charge on a neutron is deemed to be ZERO(NO CHARGE).
What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
What is a positive charge and particles called that have no charge?
A positive charge is a positive electrical charge. Particles with no charge are called neutral particles.
What is proton electric charge?
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
What is a positive charge plus a positive charge?
Two positive charges.
What is the charge on a electron called?
the charge of a proton is called positive charge neutron- negative charge electron- no charge
Is b a negative or positive charge?
A positive charge
