Every fundamental charged particle has an antiparticle such that when the particle and antiparticle collide, they annihilate each other to create two (uncharged) photons. What does conservation of charge imply about how a particle’s charge compares to that of its antiparticle? The particle’s and antiparticle’s charges

A. must be identical in sign and magnitude.
B. must have opposite signs and the same magnitude.
C. must have opposite signs, maybe different magnitudes.
D. must each be zero.
E. are not constrained at all by charge conservation.


B. must have opposite signs and the same magnitude.

Certain stars at the end of their lives are thought to collapse combining their protons and electrons together to form a neutron star. Such a star could be thought of as a giant atomic nucleus. If a star of mass equal to that of the Sun (M = 1.99 × 10^30 kg) collapsed into neutrons (mn = 1.67 × 10^?27 kg), what would be the radius of such a star? (Hint: r = r0A1/3, where r0 = 1.20 × 10^?15
