What is meant by the statement 'charge is quantized' ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The minimum charge that can be transferred from one body to the other is equal to the charge of the electron `(e=1.602xx10^(-19)C)`. A charge always exists an integral multiple of charge of electron `(q=n e)`. Therefore charge is said to be quantized.
