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