Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Protons have a ____ charge.
A
Negative
B
Positive
C
Neutral
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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, stable subatomic particle that has a positive charge equal in magnitude to a unit of electron charge and a rest mass of 1.67262 × 10−27 kg, which is 1, 836 times the mass of an electron.

Detailed explanation-3: -A proton being positively charged is just a convention. It is not the usual “positive” you think about. We found out that there can be three kinds of charges-two of which attract to each other and the third is “neutral” to the. So, we decided to name them positive, negative and neutral.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons. “Free” neutrons are those no longer confined inside a nucleus. These free neutrons are produced by nuclear fission and fusion processes.

Detailed explanation-5: -When an object has a positive charge, it has more protons than electrons. Therefore, when an object has a negative charge, then that object contains more electrons than protons.
