How do protons and electrons differ in their electric charge?
To explain: The difference between protons and electrons in the electric charge.
Answer to Problem 3A
Protons and electrons have same charge in magnitude, but they are of opposite sign. Proton has positive charge and electron has negative charge.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: In an atom protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus, and electrons orbit around the nucleus. An atom as a whole is neutral. This means total number of protons in an atom are equal to the total number of electrons.
Electron has
