The charge on a proton is +1.6 ×10–19 and that on an electron is +1.6 ×10–19 . Does it mean that the electron has a charge 3.2×10–19 C less than the charge of a proton? || HC verma solution || Part 2

Ques: The charge on a proton is +1.6 ×10–19 and that on an electron is +1.6 ×10–19 .  Does it mean that the electron has a charge 3.2×10–19 C less than the charge of a proton?

Ans: No, it does not mean that the electron has a charge 3.2×10–19 C less than the charge of a proton. Electrons and Protons have same amount of charge just the nature of charge is different. Electron has negative charge and Proton has positive charge. If we keep an electron and a proton at a distance apart then attractive force will be observed as their nature of charge is different.Hence, magnitude of charge of both electron and a proton is 1.6 ×10–19 but nature is opposite.
