The proton is composed of three elementary particles called quarks.
These quarks are influenced by the electromagnetic force and therefore have a charge.
The quark makeup of one proton is 'uud', or 2 up quarks and one down quark.
The charge of a proton is +1 e (as opposed to that of an electron; -1 e)
The charge of an up quark is +2⁄3 e and that of a down quark is -1/3 e.
Therefore you get +2⁄3 e + +2⁄3 e + -1/3 e which amounts to +1 e.
The reason a neutron is neutral is for the same reason.
It's composition is 'udd', or one up quark and two down.
I won't actually write it out again, but when the charge of one up quark and two down is added the charge is 0 e
By definition, a proton is positive, so a proton will always have a positive charge.
A proton has a positive charge which is equal in magnitude but opposite to the charge on an electron, which is negative.
protons-positive neutrons-neutral electrons-negative
All we can say is that it is the nature of electrons to carry a negative charge, and for protons to carry a positive charge. The intrinsic cause of these charges is still not yet understood, and awaits the further development of sub-atomic physics models.
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge. Both these charges are equal and opposite.
A proton has a positive charge.
A proton has a positive charge.
A proton has a positive charge.
By definition, a proton is positive, so a proton will always have a positive charge.
a proton has a positive charge
A proton is positively charged. Think of it this way: P for proton, p for positive.
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
A proton has a positive charge and is located in the nucleus
A proton has a positive charge.
Protons have a positive charge, with an elementary charge of +1.
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
Yes, a proton has a positive charge.
