What happens when a proton is near a electron?
The force of attraction increases as an electron and a proton approach each other. And it varies inversely as the square of the distance between the particles. Let's break it down. Ready? Jump with me. The electron and the proton have a negative electrostatic charge and a positive electrostatic charge respectively. Each charge - and the force associated with that unit of charge - is constant - and equal. (The electron and proton have equal, but oppositely polarized, electrostatic charges.) But there is more. According to the law of electrostatics, like charges repel, and opposite charges attract, so they will be attracted to each other. And as they get closer, the force acting on them to pull them together increases - by the inverse square of the distance that separates them. Keep going. If an electron and a proton are a given distance apart, they will attract each other. The electron, because it is only about 1/1836th (or so) of the mass of the proton, will do almost all of the moving. The force acting on each particle is the same, but because the electron is lighter by a ton, the force acting on it will cause it to accelerate much more than the proton will accelerate. When the distance between the two particles is half of what it was at the start, the force of attraction between the two bodies will be four times what it was at the start. It is Coulomb's Law that is at work here, and this is the statement of that law: The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.Need links?

What is the difference in the amount of charges in a proton and electron?
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
What are the types of charges?
Electron and Proton
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.
How do a proton and an electron compared?
They have opposite charges.
What are the charges of the proton neutron electron?
Proton's have a positive charge, neutron'shave a neutral charge, electron's have a negative charge
Which charge contributes to the proton electron and neutrion?
The three principal particles of an atom are the proton, electron and neutron. The proton and electron have +1 and -1 charges respectively. The neutron does not have a charge.
Are the charges of an electron cancelled by the charges of a proton?
Yes. The magnitude of electrical charge on a proton is the same as the magnitude of electrical charge on an electron. The charge on a proton is positive and the charge on an electron is neutral, so that a pair containing one of each of them has no net electrical charge.
What is a good comparison of the charges of an electron and the charges of a proton?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
What are protons neutrons and electron charges?
Proton: Positive Neutron: No charge Electron: Negative
How is proton and electron alike?
Both have equal and opposite charges.
How do you determine the attractive electrical force between an electron and proton?
You can determine the attractive electrical force between an electron and proton using Coulomb's law. The force is directly proportional to the product of their charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The equation is F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2, where F is the force, k is Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the electron and proton, and r is the distance between them.
Are an electron and a proton attracted or repelled?
They are attracted because they have opposite charges.
