The Fundamental Quantum Charge is Q = 4/3 E-18 Coulombs = (h/z)1/2 where z is the free space impedance/resistance 375 ohms and h is Planck's Constant.
The Top, Charm, and Up quarks have +2/3 of an 'elementary' charge. The Bottom, Strange, and Down quarks have -1/3 of an 'elementary' charge.
To make a proton, which has a charge of +1, you would need two up quarks (each with a charge of +2/3) and one down quark (with a charge of -1/3) since the total charge of a proton is the sum of the charges of its constituent quarks.
Protons are composed of three smaller particles called quarks, each with their own mass and electric charge. These quarks contribute to the overall mass and charge of the proton. Due to the strong force that holds the quarks together within the proton, the combined mass and charge of all three quarks manifest as the consistent mass and electric charge that all protons share.
Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.
Up, Charm and Top Quarks have a charge of (2/3)e Down, Strange and Bottom Quarks have a charge of (-1/3)e Where e is the charge of the electron.
Yes, protons are composed of three quarks - two "up" quarks and one "down" quark. The up quarks have a positive charge of +2/3 each, and the down quark has a negative charge of -1/3, resulting in a net charge of +1 for the proton.
Yes, quarks carry a charge. They carry a charge of either +2/3 or -1/3 depending on which quark we consider.
The Top, Charm, and Up quarks have +2/3 of an 'elementary' charge. The Bottom, Strange, and Down quarks have -1/3 of an 'elementary' charge.
The reason that protons are positive and neutrons have no charge is owed to the fact that quarks, which make up these particles, do not have integral charge. The charge of an up quark is +2/3, and the charge of a down quark is -1/3. When the charges of the quarks are added for the particles, we get the following: Proton = up quark + up quark + down quark = 2/3 + 2/3 - 1/3 = 4/3 - 1/3 = 3/3 = +1 Neutron = up quark + down quark + down quark = 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 - 2/3 = 0 (zero)
The neutron has no net charge. It is made of 2 down quarks (building block for neutrons, electrons and protons) and 1 up quarks. an up quark has a charge of +2/3 of an elementary charge (charge of a single proton), and a down quarks has a charge of -1/3. If you add it up, there is no charge.

A neutron carries no net electric charge since it is made up of three quarks: two down quarks and one up quark. The combination of these quarks results in a neutral overall charge for the neutron.
Neutrons are neutral in charge because they are made up of three smaller particles called quarks - two down quarks and one up quark. The combination of these quarks results in a net charge of zero, making neutrons electrically neutral.
