Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Protons have a ____ charge
A
positive
B
neutral
C
negative
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged while neutrons have no charge. Protons are not free to move, hence only electrons can move if we provide them enough energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutrons, along with protons, are subatomic particles found inside the nucleus of every atom. The only exception is hydrogen, where the nucleus contains only a single proton. Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive) and have slightly more mass than positively charged protons.

Detailed explanation-3: -As opposite charges attract, negatively charged electrons are drawn to positively charged protons. Electrons are referred to as negative because of their behavior in an electric field. In an electric field, an electron will move from the negative pole to the positive pole, giving it a negative charge by convention.
