The similarity and the difference between the charge on an electron and proton.
Answer to Problem 48A
The charge on an electron and proton are of same magnitude but of different nature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The charge on an electron is given by,
Now, the charge on a proton is of same magnitude as of electron but it is positively charged. Hence, the charge on proton is given by,
Conclusion:
Hence, the charges on an electron and proton is of opposite nature but have the same magnitude.
