Answer:

A positive charge, equal to
1.6\cdot 10^(-19)C

Step-by-step explanation:

- The proton is one of the two particles found in the nucleus of atoms (the other one is the neutron). The proton has a positive electrical charge, whose magnitude is equal to:


q=+1.6\cdot 10^(-19)

This value is also known as elementary charge.

The charge of the proton is exactly opposite to that of the electron, which is a smaller particle orbiting the nucleus of the atoms, and whose charge is equal to


e=-1.6\cdot 10^(-19)C
