1
Identify the subatomic particles that are commonly found in an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the location of each subatomic particle: protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
Recognize the charge of each subatomic particle: protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons have a negative charge.
Focus on the question's requirement for a particle with a positive charge located in the nucleus.
Conclude that the subatomic particle found in the nucleus with a positive charge is the proton.
