AnswerElectric charge (or electrical charge) is nothing but property possessed by various particles including the protons and electrons in atoms. Protons always have a positive charge and electrons a negative charge. There are also other particles such as positrons which have a positive charge and anti-protons which have a negative charge. Many of these (protons and anti-protons) are also made up of quarks which have a charge of 1/3. An accumulation of particles with the same charge generates a larger and larger electrostatic field the more and more that accumulate.

The magnitude of charge for a proton is +1.602 x 10 -19 Coulombs while that of an electron is -1.602 x 10 -19

How can charge be produce?

Electrical charge can be produced from an electromagnet. This is a core i.e. iron wrapped in a wire coil. A magnetic device then passing by can cause an electrical charge to be produced, typically AC (alternating current).

What electrical charge do protons neutrons and electrons have?

Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
