Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.
An electric charge is found on particles such as electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. Electric charges are also found in objects that have gained or lost electrons through processes like friction or induction.
Stationary electric charges are called static charges. These charges do not move and are typically found on objects that have gained or lost electrons.
In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).
Electrical charges are conserved, meaning that any net electrical charge was present since the beginning of the Universe. I would expect the net electrical charge of the Universe to be zero; it is also possible to get electrical charges by separation of charges. That is, if you have a charge of 0, you can separate it into a charge of +1 and a charge of -1; the sum of the two charges is still zero.
As my great high school Physics teacher, Lee Dunning, said not too long ago: "There is no such thing as a negative charge" If I am correct, ALL charges are negative because electrons are the means in which current flows through, and obviously electrons are negative. I dont remember about ionization though.

Calcium has an atomic number of 20. Thus calcium's number of protons is 20. To balance out these protons' positive charges, calcium also is found with 20 negatively charged electrons.
Both magnetic and electric charges interact with each other through attraction or repulsion. However, electric charges are typically carried by protons and electrons, while magnetic charges (or poles) are found in magnetic materials like magnets. Additionally, while electric charges produce electric fields that exert forces on other charges, magnetic charges produce magnetic fields that affect moving charges.
Protons are contained within the nucleus, electrons surround the nucleus at a considerable distance (atomically speaking)
protons: positive charge electrons: negative charge neutrons: no charge or neutral
The three common subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are found inside the nucleus and have a positive charge. Electrons are found outside of the nucleus and have a negative charge.
There are two types of charges: positive charges and negative charges. Positive charges are immobile, and are found inside the nuclei of atoms as Protons. Negative charges can be mobile, and have the source of electrons. These orbit the nuclei of atoms, and can be stripped from the atoms to be used as mobile charged through conductors, such as electricity moving through wires.
