Charge of a proton (1 Viewer)

[HailSatan]

The charge of a proton is the positive equivalent of the charge of an electron right? Because that's what I used for the electron projectile motion question. I can't even remember what I used it for now...

Did anyone else get 5.909 seconds as the time?

Yer charge is the charge on the electron just positive.

As for the answer. Honestly cant remember.

haha i got some weird time, 1x10^-4s....most likely wrong, calculations were hard this time

 

[HailSatan]

Wait now that I think about it I don't remember using the charge of a proton in the projectile motion one.... Where the hell did I use it

I got 5.9 x 10^-8 seconds for the time, using the same charge (but positive) of the electron.

I got 5.9 x 10^8 seconds for the time, using the same charge (but positive) of the electron.

Did you mean 10^-8, cause that's about 19 years...


And oh shit I think I wrote down the decimal value whilst forgetting to write down the extra x10 to the such and such... FUCK

haha yes whoops...edited.

Yer I got a really small number too I think.

I think it should be. Its was fkn flying.

Think about it.
Electron has it's charge q
Positron is electrons anti-particle, having the opposite charge.

A proton is basically a neutron (no charge) + a positron (opposite charge of electron)

Therefore, the charge on a proton is opposite that of an electron!

I got a small number too. Oh fuck.

 

[Aerath]

I got like 5.9x10^-8 or something. Like...I thought it was massively wrong.

smartass...ive never thought of it that way, i just knew that they were oppositely charged.

Yeah it's 5.9 * 10^-8 lol
