Question

What is the absolute mass and charge of a proton?

Answer 1

Definition

1. A proton's mass is approximately equivalent to that of a hydrogen atom. One electron, as well as a proton, makes up a hydrogen atom. Because the mass of an electron has been deemed unimportant, the mass of a hydrogen atom is approximately equivalent to the weight of a proton. A proton has a mass that is 1840 times that of an electron.
2. A proton's charge would be equal to and opposing to that of an electron. As a result, it has a unit-positive electrical charge.

Finding the absolute mass and charge of a proton

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Mass}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{proton}=1.676\times {10}^{-27}\mathrm{kg} \\ =1.676\times {10}^{-24}\mathrm{g} \\ =1.6726219\times {10}^{-27}\mathrm{kg} \end{gathered}$$

$\mathrm{Charge}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{proton}=+1.602\times {10}^{-19}\mathrm{coulombs}$

Therefore, the absolute mass of proton is $1.6\times {10}^{-27}\mathrm{kg}$ and absolute mass of proton is $1.6\times {10}^{-19}\mathrm{coulombs}$.
