Question

A proton carries positive charge, and weights the same as an electron. a. True b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The charge on an electron as well as proton is same. The difference between electron and proton is that the electrons have a negative charge while the protons have positive charge.

The weight of an electron is, $9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$ while the weight of a proton is $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$.

Therefore, the given statement "A proton carries positive charge, and weights the same as an electron." is false.
