Detailed explanation-2: -On the atomic level, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.

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).
