When nuclei contain Protons and Neutrons, EXCHANGE occurs. Protons become Neutrons, and Neutrons become Protons.The "bag model" of Gluon-Quark containment agrees with observations better than the...

Because charge is quantised. You can't1 get less charge than the charge of one proton (or electron). Therefore there's no way for charge to flow from a single proton (or single electron).In your...

There is a nice answer by @annav, I would like to add a few interesting notes.Most of the answers display the proton and the neutron as consisting only of three quarks, in reality, it is much more...

A proton can exchange charge with the neutron via a process called "pion exchange". In this process, the proton with quark content $uud$ sends a positive pion $u\bar{d}$ over to the neutron $udd$. The...

The charge of the proton does not transfer to the neutron because protons are charged particles.For example, when we put two objects of +10C and +20C together and then take them apart, each of them...

Roughly speaking, it is because the strong nuclear force which binds quarks together is stronger than the electromagnetic force which would otherwise spread the charge more equally. But also, quarks...

For example, when we put two objects of +10C and +20C together and then take them apart, each of them acquires a charge of +15C.This is not always true. It is true only if the objects are conductors....

The proton charge and the absence of a neutron charge is static. Charge cannot flow between elementary particles as if these were pieces of metal.Analyzing your statement "each of them acquires a...

If I put a red billiard ball and a blue billiard ball in a bag, leave them for a while, and then draw one out, I will find I am holding a red ball or a blue ball. Never a purple ball.At the level of...

Temperature is a classical thermodynamics variable. Protons and neutrons belong to the quantum mechanical frame that became necessary to be studied when experiments showed disagreement with classical...

Good question!First, the motion of charge between macroscopic objects is defined by classical physics, specifically classical electrodynamics or classical Maxwell's equations to be specific. Nature...

For example, when we put two objects of +10C and +20C together and then take them apart, each of them acquires a charge of +15C.In a nucleus, the protons and neutrons are stuck together. Why is it that...
