The charge of some quarks or anti-quarks is: A) 0. B) 1/2 (1.6 × 10−¹⁹)C. C) 1/3 (1.6 × 10−¹⁹)C. D) 1 (1.6 × 10−¹⁹)C.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quarks have fractional electric charges, with a charge of +2/3 or -1/3 times the charge of an electron. Anti-quarks have the opposite charges to their corresponding quarks. Therefore, the correct option is C which states that the charge of some quarks or anti-quarks is 1/3 (1.6 × 10−19C).
