alleryStart learning →A neutron turns into a proton and an electron. Which law is shown by this?
AConservation of charge
BConservation of mass
CSuperposition principle
DGauss's law for flux
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Conservation of charge
The neutron is neutral and the created proton and electron carry equal and opposite charges, so the net charge stays zero.
