No, beta radiation is not uncharged. Beta radiation is the result of beta decay, and there are two kinds of beta decay. In one type, beta minus decay, an electron is ejected from an atomic nucleus. The electron is negatively charged. In the other type, beta plus decay, an positron, which is an anti-electron (antimatter), is ejected from the nucleus. The positron is positively charged. Beta radiation is either negatively charged electrons or positively charged positrons (anti-electrons). Use the link below to the related question here at WikiAnswers. It is "What is beta decay?" and it is already answered.

What type of particle is unaffected by an electric field?
Uncharged particles such as neutrons are not affected by electric fields.
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
Which type of radiation can cause the most damage to the cells in the body?
The strongest type of radiation of course.
What is the weakest type of radiation?
Gamma radiation is the strongest, followed by beta, followed by alpha. So, in answer to your question; alpha is the weakest type of radiation :)
Alpha beta gamma which is uncharged?
gama radiation is uncharged. Alpha is positive and beta is negative.

What type of radiation does radioactivity produces?
The Type Of Radiation That It Produce Is The Gamma Ray!
Is alpha radiation uncharged?
No, alpha particles are not uncharged. An alpha particle is actually a helium-4 nucleus, and that means it's composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. It will have an overall charge of +2, and we often write the alpha particle as He++ or He2+. The related question on what an alpha particle is can be found below. Check it out.
Why does a charged body attract an uncharged body?
The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.The charged body will induce a separation of charges in the uncharged body.
