No, the absolute charge of proton is equal to the absolute charge of electrons. however, their relative charge is opposite in sign.

Which is bigger a coulomb or charge if an electron?

A coulomb is bigger. Please also note that a coulomb is defined as a POSITIVE charge, while an electron has a NEGATIVE charge. Anyway, the magnitude of a coulomb is much bigger than that of an electron.


If a free electron and free proton are released in identical electric fields what will the electric forces on each particle be and how their accelerations compare?

F = QE , F = maelectron has (-Q)proton has (+Q) SO they have same force in magnitude and different directions ..electron has mass = 9*10^-31proton has mass = 1.6*10^-27mass of proton is biggerso the magnitude of acceleration for electron will be bigger ...


Which has more mass-a proton or electron?

The proton has much more mass than the electron, by a factor of 1836 times, a ratio called "mu". Recent astronomical research suggests mu may have changed by 20 parts per million in the last 12 billion years, but I plan to wait at least a billion years for confirmation!


Are elections bigger or smaller then neutrons and protons?

Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.


The charge and mass number of a proton are?

No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.

How big is a proton compared to an electron?

A proton is about 1,836 times heavier than an electron. In terms of size, the proton is also larger than an electron. However, the exact size of both particles is extremely small, with the proton being about 100,000 times smaller than an atom.

Is the the mass and charge of electrons compare to that of protons?

The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.


Does electron has lesser amount of charge than proton?

No, their charge is equal to each other.


Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?

In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.


Is an electron bigger than a proton?

No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.

Can you generate the electricity by the moving of proton as electron?

No. While the proton has the opposite charge of the electron, the proton will not flow from atom to atom like the electron does because the strong atomic force holding the proton in the nucleus is much more powerful than the electromagnetic force.
