Protons are Positively Charged
Protons are charged particles, and all protons have the same charge.
When measured in Coulombs (the SI unit for charge), the charge of one proton is +1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs. We say that this is a charge of +1. Thus, we say that a proton has a charge of +1. The negative charge of one electron exactly cancels out the positive charge of one proton. In other words, if you place an electron together with a proton, the total charge of the two particles will be ZERO.
