  2. Elementary charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge

    The elementary charge, usually denoted by e, is a fundamental physical constant, defined as the electric charge carried by a single proton (+1 e) or, equivalently, the magnitude of the negative electric charge carried by a single electron, which has charge −1 e.

  3. Orders of magnitude (charge) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(charge)

    The elementary charge e, i.e. the negative charge on a single electron or the positive charge on a single proton [3] 10 −18: atto-(aC) ~ 1.8755 × 10 −18 C: Planck charge [4] [5] 10 −17: 1.473 × 10 −17 C (92 e) – Positive charge on a uranium nucleus (derived: 92 x 1.602 × 10 −19 C) 10 −16: 1.344 × 10 −16 C: Charge on a dust ...

  4. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    A proton is a stable subatomic particle, symbol p, H +, or 1 H + with a positive electric charge of +1 e (elementary charge).Its mass is slightly less than the mass of a neutron and approximately 1836 times the mass of an electron (the proton-to-electron mass ratio).

  5. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric charge is a conserved property: the net charge of an isolated system, the quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge, cannot change. Electric charge is carried by subatomic particles. In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms ...

  6. Charge carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier

    There are two recognized types of charge carriers in semiconductors.One is electrons, which carry a negative electric charge.In addition, it is convenient to treat the traveling vacancies in the valence band electron population as a second type of charge carrier, which carry a positive charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron.

  7. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    The "continuous charge" version of Coulomb's law is never supposed to be applied to locations for which | ′ | = because that location would directly overlap with the location of a charged particle (e.g. electron or proton) which is not a valid location to analyze the electric field or potential classically.

  8. Subatomic particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subatomic_particle

    A proton is made of two up quarks and one ... are theoretically stable due to charge conservation unless a lighter particle having magnitude of electric charge ...

  9. Strong interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction

    Most of the mass of a proton or neutron is the result of the strong interaction energy; the individual quarks provide only about 1% of the mass of a proton. At the range of 10 −15 m (1 femtometer , slightly more than the radius of a nucleon ), the strong force is approximately 100 times as strong as electromagnetism , 10 6 times as strong as ...
