A POSITron has a POSITive charge, hence the name. A positron is an anti-electron; since the electron has a negative charge, the positron has a positive charge.

Does a positron have a negative charge or does a nuetrino have a negative charge?

A positron has a positive charge, and a neutrino has a neutral charge.


What is The ratio of the specific charge of an electron to that of a positron is?

The ratio of the specific charge of an electron to that of a positron is 1:1. Both the electron and positron have the same magnitude of charge but opposite in sign, with the electron being negative and the positron being positive.


What is the antiparticle of a positron?

The antiparticle of a positron is an electron. Both the positron and electron have the same mass but opposite charge, with the positron having a positive charge and the electron having a negative charge.


What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?

Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton


Does a electron have a negative charge or positive?

In the common case, electrons have a "negative" charge. There are also such thing as a "positron," which is simply a positively-charged electron.


Does the positron has the same charge as an electron?

No, although their respective charges are exactly equal in size, they are opposite in sign.


Does an electron have a positive negative or neutral charge?

In the common case, electrons have a "negative" charge. There are also such thing as a "positron," which is simply a positively-charged electron.


What is the charge associated with beta decay?

The charge associated with beta decay is either a positive or negative charge, depending on whether a beta particle is emitted (negative charge) or a positron is emitted (positive charge).


Positrons have the same charge as what other particles?

A positron, which has a positive charge, has the same charge as a proton. The positron is antimatter, and is the antiparticle of the electron, hence its other name, the anti-electron. The electron has a charge of negative one, so its anti-particle, the positron, has a charge of plus one, the same as the proton. Links are provided below to related questions.


Are positrons negative or positive?

Positive, positron's are the antimatter equivalent of an electron and therefor the charge is reversed.


Why beta rays get negative?

Beta rays do not have a negative charge. Beta particles (electrons or positrons) emitted during beta decay can have a negative or positive charge, depending on whether it is an electron or a positron. The negative charge is carried by the electron beta particle.


Does a beta particle have an identical charge to an electron?

Yes, a beta particle is either an electron or a positron. In beta decay, an electron is emitted (beta-minus decay), which has a negative charge, while a positron is emitted in beta-plus decay, which has a positive charge.
