Question
What is the electric charge of the baryons with the following quark compositions?a. $\bar{u} \bar{u} \bar{d}$b. $\bar{u} \bar{d} \bar{d}$
Step 1
The up quark (u) has a charge of +2/3e, the down quark (d) has a charge of -1/3e. The anti-up quark ($\bar{u}$) has a charge of -2/3e and the anti-down quark ($\bar{d}$) has a charge of +1/3e. Show more…
