A nucleus consists of nucleons comprising of protons and neutrons. A proton has a positive charge equal to _ and has a mass of _.

Correct answer: B. 1.6.x 10 19C;1.673 x 10^-27kg

  • A. 2.6 x 10 19C;36. x 10 28 kg
  • B. 1.6.x 10 19C;1.673 x 10^-27kg
  • C. 3.6 x 10 19C ;2.111 x 10^27kg
  • D. 4.6 x 10 19 C;9.111 x 10^27kg
  • E. 5.6 x 10 19C ;8.111 x 10^27kg

Explanation

Therefore, the given answer of 1.6 x 10 19 C for the charge of a proton and 1.673 x 1027 kg for the mass of a proton is correct. Protons are positively charged particles and contribute to the atomic nucleus along with neutrons.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
