Protons:

  1. Protons are positively charged sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom.
  2. The charge on a proton is equal and opposite to the charge on an electron.
  3. The charge on the proton is 1.6×10-19C which is very very small.
  4. Thus, the charge on the proton is taken as a unit positive charge i.e. +1.

Thus, the charge on the proton is +1.
