What is the minimum amount of charge acquired by a charged body? The charge of a body is `5.6 xx 10^(-14)`C - justify It.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The minimum charge acquired by a charged body is `pm e= pm 4.8xx10^(-10)` esu of charge = `pm 1.6xx10^(-19)` C. All charges present in nature are always an integral multiple of an electronic charge e.
The charge of a body is `5.6 xx 10^(-14)` C- this statement means that it has a deficit of electrons, and hence is positively charged. The number of electron deficit
`=(5.6xx10^(-14)) /(1.6xx10^(-19)) `=350000
