It's all quite simple.
The electron is a subatomic particle carrying a negative electric charge. It has no known components or substructure, and therefore is believed to be an elementary particle.[2] An electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.
The positron or antielectron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron. The positron has an electric charge of +1e, a spin of 1⁄2, and the same mass as an electron.
What else can I help you with?
Do electrons attract positrons and vice versa?
Yes. And when this occurs, they will collide and annihilate one another.
Why are beta particles different from cathode ray particles?
Beta particles can be electrons (beta-) or positrons (beta+), along with electron antineutrinos (beta-) or electron neutrinos (beta+). Cathode ray particles are just electrons. Since neutrinos have no charge, they do not interact well with matter. As a result, the electrons from beta- decay are nearly indistinguishable from the electrons in cathode rays, with the possible exception of their velocity.
What would happen if you replaced all the electrons in the human body with positrons?
If all the electrons in the human body were replaced with positrons, the positrons would annihilate with nearby electrons, creating gamma radiation. This would lead to immediate destruction of the body's molecular structure and result in a catastrophic event, causing severe harm or death.
Why are positrons short lived?
Positrons don't last long because they are anti-electrons; they are antimatter. And they will combine with an electron after their appearance, and do so in a relatively short period of time. Both particles are oppositely charged and attract each other. And in an event called mutual annihilation, the total mass of both the positron and the electron are converted into energy.
What denotes the positively charged particles in the atom's nucleus protons electrons positrons neutrons?
Protons denote the positively charged particles in the atom's nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles found outside the nucleus. Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus, and positrons are positively charged antimatter particles.
What are e- and e plus plus particles?
That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).That might refer to electrons and positrons (aka anti-electrons).
The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?
The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.
What is beta radiation made from?
Electrons or positrons.

Do electrons attract positrons and vice versa?
Yes. And when this occurs, they will collide and annihilate one another.
Electrons negative charge?
Yes and positrons are positive!
Does beta decay produce particles?
Yes, electrons and positrons.
What is elctricity a movement of?
Electricity if the movement of electrons in matter, or positrons in antimatter.

Eletron have what kind of charge?
Electrons are always negatively charged (-1 charge) Antiparticles of electrons, called positrons, have a positive (+1) charge.
