Not necessarily. They always have opposite electric charges, but you can certainly
shoot them both in the same direction through a tube. If they then encounter a
magnetic field in the tube, it's true that then they'll curve in opposite directions.
The charge of a positron is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to that of an electron. Therefore, the charge of a positron is approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.
The mass of a positron is approximately 9.1093826(16) × 10−31 kg. The positron and the electron are anti-particles of each other, and you can find out more about the positron at the Wikipedia article on that subject. A link to their post can be found below. There is also a link to a related question on the nature of the positron. That's down there, too.
The anti-matter equivalent of an electron is a positron. Positrons have the same mass as electrons but have a positive charge. When a positron and an electron collide, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays.
The particle that has the opposite charge of an electron is the proton. The electron has a charge of -1 while the proton has a charge of +1. (Though they have equal - but opposite - charges, the proton is about 1836 times more massive than the electron.) It might be worth mentioning that the antiparticle of the electron, the positron, also has a charge of +1. And it (the positron or antielectron) has a mass identical to the electron's. (An antielectron, the positron, will combine with an electron when the pair are at low energy in an annhilation event. Both particles will have their masses converted into energy.)
This supposition is not true. Mutual annihilation, which occurs when a positron combines with an electron, will result in the conversion of all of the mass of both particles into energy. And this will result in the formation of two photons. The production of the photon pair is the result of conservation laws, and the two photons leave the event in opposite directions.

A positron is an electron's antiparticle. It has the same mass as an electron, but an opposite electrical charge.
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.
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.
A POSITron has a POSITive charge, hence the name.

No, although their respective charges are exactly equal in size, they are opposite in sign.
They move in opposite directions when in a magnetic field because they have opposite charges. The force on a particle depends on its charge -- make the charge completely opposite, and the force on it will be completely opposite. Momentum is conserved when they move in opposite direction (that is, in their center of mass frame) because their respective masses are identical. One electron mass moving in one direction plus one electron mass moving in the opposite direction means a total momentum of zero. The system begins with zero momentum and ends that way.

Their masses are equal. It's their charges that are opposite.
Yes; they simply have opposite charges.
When a positron meets an electron, they annihilate or destroy each other.This phenomena is known as annihilation of matter. During this process two photons of gamma rays are produced that travel in opposite directions.Actually the mass of electron and positron has been converted into energy (gamma rays).
The usual term is "positron." It's the antiparticle of an electron, having the same mass but opposite charge and opposite "electron number".
