Why proton have charge positive
Accepted Answer
Proton has a positive charge because it contains one unpaired positive electric charge due to the presence of a single up quark. The up quark has a charge of +2/3, while the down quark has a charge of -1/3. Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms, along with neutrons, and are responsible for the positive charge of the nucleus.
