The nuclear charge is the term given to the electric charge on the nucleus, and it is simply found by counting the number of protons.

Protons determine the nuclear charge of an atom. Each proton carries a positive charge and is located in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and therefore its nuclear charge.

A heavier nuclear particle is composed of a triplet of strange quarks. What is a charge if this particle?

The charge of a triplet of strange quarks would be -⅓ times 3, which is -1. This is because each strange quark has an electric charge of -⅓.


What nuclear particle has a charge of 2?

No nuclear particle has a relative mass of 4. However, the alpha particle which is emitted by one of the radioactive iodine isotopes, has a relative mass of 4. An alpha particle is emitted from the nucleus but not referred to as a nuclear particle because it is made up of 4 nuclear particles - 2 neutrons and 2 protons.


In addition to the distance from a charged particle what other factor determines the magnitude of the electric potential?

Another factor that determines the magnitude of the electric potential is the amount of charge on the particle creating the electric field. The electric potential is directly proportional to the charge creating the field.
