Which of the following is a positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom?
A
Electron
B
Proton
C
Neutron
D
Quark
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proton is the positively charged particle present in atoms of all the elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The charge is believed to be from the charge of the quarks that make up the nucleons (protons and neutrons). A proton is made of two Up quarks, with 2/3 positive charge each and one Down Quark with a negative 1/3 charge (2/3 + 2/3 +-1/3 = 1).
