Answer:
A positive charge, equal to [tex]1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C[/tex]
Explanation:
- The proton is one of the two particles found in the nucleus of atoms (the other one is the neutron). The proton has a positive electrical charge, whose magnitude is equal to:
[tex]q=+1.6\cdot 10^{-19}[/tex]
This value is also known as elementary charge.
The charge of the proton is exactly opposite to that of the electron, which is a smaller particle orbiting the nucleus of the atoms, and whose charge is equal to
[tex]e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C[/tex]
