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+e and mass mem_{e} [equal to electron mass].
Electron is a particle which has - ee charge and 9.1×1031kg9.1 \times 10^{-31} kg mass.
Neutron is a particle which has zero charge and 1838me1838 m_{e} mass.
So, the required answer is neutrino.
