Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic i.e., large scale charges?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We can ignore the quantization of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic charges because the charge on one electron is `1.6xx10^(-19) C` in magnitude, which is very small as compared to the large scale change.
