The charge on a proton in + 1.6 x 10^-19 C and thaton an electron is -1.6 x 10^-19 C. Does it mean that the electron has a charge 3.2 x 10^-19 C less than the charge of the proton ?

The ans looks like it is YES,,but i dont think that will be the ans.

No i don think so. I think the charge is just off opp sign obv. i don think u should compare the two charges like tat.I thnk the magnitude is the same an oly sign is different to indicate tat it atrracts a positively charged body .

u r going wrong. compare magnitude, then remove the signs.

signs are just a mode of convention .

as b555 told............ signs r just for convention
u have to just compare their magnitudes
its given in detail in hcv

take an analogy

a lift going up with acch. g sees a free falling stone with an acch. g
