Question

All protons are identical and have a charge equal to _______ coulombs.

Answer 1

The charge on a proton is +1.60 ×10^-19 coulombs or +1.60 ×10^-19 C.

• This value of the charge is considered as one unit charge which is represented as one positive sign on the symbol of proton as p⁺.
• As all protons are identical, so each proton carries +1.60 ×10^-19 coulombs of charge.

Therefore, all protons are identical and have a charge equal to +1.60 ×10^-19 coulombs.
