Compared to an electron, which particle has a charge that is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign?

(1) an alpha particle (2) a neutron

(3) a beta particle (4) a proton

Verified Answer :

I think the correct answer is proton since protons have a charge of +1 while electrons have a charge of -1.  However, since beta particles are used to name a type of nuclear decay and can refer to either a positron or electron depending on the circumstances, your teacher might want you to put beta particle since positrons are basically electrons but that have a positive charge.
 I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Compared to an electron, a proton has a charge that is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

What particle has a charge that is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign?

A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of the opposite sign.

What particle has an equal but opposite force of an electron?

The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. The same number of protons and electrons exactly cancel one another in a neutral atom.
