Answer #1

Answer :

Electrons and Protons are a subatomic particle with an Electron having negative charge and Protons have a positive charge.

The magnitude of charge on both Protons and Electrons are same. (It just differ in sign)

Here, The charge on these subatomic particles is called fundamental unit of charge : e = 1.6 x 10-19 C

  • Charge on protons is +e. Mass of protons is 1.6727×10−27 kg.
  • Charge on electrons is -e. Mass of electrons is 9.1×10−31 kg.

Protons are bound together in an atom's nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force and Electrons are free to move around the Nucleus.
