Solution

  1. The net charge on an object is said to be positive if the object has more number of protons than electrons.
  2. The net charge on an object is said to be negative if the object has more number of electrons than protons.
  3. The negative charge of the electron is found to have the same magnitude to that of the positive charge of the protons, hence it cannot be determined.
  4. No, we cannot tell that positive charge is stronger than negative charge or negative is stronger than positive charge or the charge of electron is greater than the charge of proton or vice versa.
