Charge Due to Spin - Proton, Neutron, Photon & More

[filegraphy]

Is the proton charged positively due to the quarks spin? Same for the neutron. The photon does not have charge even though it has spin. What causes electrical charge?

 

[Pythagorean]

No, charge is just a property of matter like mass. Quarks themselves have a charge before they become part of a hadron.

Electrons, which aren't quarks, also have charge.

Neutrino's have spin, but no electric charge.
