Physics Question on Nuclear physics
A particle having almost zero mass and exactly zero charge is
A
positron
B
electron
C
neutron
D
neutrino
Answer
neutrino
Explanation
Solution
We know that the neutrino is the particle which has almost zero mass and exactly zero charge. Positron has the charge +e and mass me [equal to electron mass].
Electron is a particle which has - e charge and 9.1×10−31kg mass.
Neutron is a particle which has zero charge and 1838me mass.
So, the required answer is neutrino.
