- In what way or ways would the physical universe be different if protons were negatively charged and electrons were positively charged? Gravity would be a repulsive force instead of an attractive one. Since protons are more massive, the universe would acquire a net negative charge. The value of the Coulomb constant k would change. Like charges would attract, and opposite charges would repel. Atoms would consist of protons orbiting a nucleus composed of electrons and neutrons. There would be no difference other than the sign on the charged particles.arrow_forwardHow many protons are needed to have a charge of 15 uc? 8.31 x 10^13 protons 5.85 x 10^13 protons O 4.46 x 10^13 protons O 3.16 x 10^13 protons O 9.38 x 10^13 protons 56arrow_forwardThe potential energy of a 3.5 pC charge separated by 6.2 cm from a 1.6 µC charge is O 1.3 x 10-7 j O 8.1 x 10-5 J.
