The charge on electron is equal to:
Correct answer: A. Proton
- A. Proton
- B. Two protons
- C. Two neutrons
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
The charge on electron= -1.6 × 10-19 CThe charge on proton= +1.6 × 10-19 CElectrons have an electric charge of −1, which is equal but opposite to the charge of a proton, which is +1.Charge on electrons is equal to proton.Hence, A is the correct option.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
