Detailed Solution

Concept: Photons are bundles of light, not charged light particles. In an atom, the positively charged nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons. The nucleus contains positively charged particles called protons.
In most cases, electron exchange is used to determine the body's charge. The body with too many electrons is negatively charged, while the body with too few electrons is positively charged, when electrons from one body enter another. Since protons are thought to be in the nucleus, they are fixed.
A positively charged material that has lost some electrons therefore has more protons than electrons, and vice versa.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
