The charge of a proton and the charge of all electron has<u><em> (4) the same magnitude and the opposite sign</em></u>
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Inside the atom consists of a nucleus containing 3 basic particles namely protons and neutrons, while electrons circulate the nucleus on a particular path so that electrons are not attracted to the nucleus.
The charge of these three atomic particles is based on the Rutherford experiment. Rutherford experimented with firing alpha rays on a thin gold plate. From this experiment it was found that:
- 1. Most alpha rays are passed through the gold plate, so it is concluded that most of the space in the atom has empty space
- 2. A small number of alpha particles deflected shows there are positively charged particles inside the atom
(at this time these particles are called protons located in the atomic nucleus)
From here comes the Rutherford atomic model which states that atoms consist of positively charged particles (protons) and negatively charged electrons around the nucleus.
<em>The charge of 1 proton is equal to a charge of 1 electron, but the sign is different.</em>
The proton is positively charged (+1), the electron is negatively charged (-1). and neutrons not charged (neutral)
Charge of 1 electron = e = -1.66.10⁻¹⁹ coulomb
Whereas the neutron charge = 0
