The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I **Statement I:** Charge is quantized. - **Explanation:** Charge is said to be quantized because it exists in discrete amounts rather than in a continuous range. The smallest unit of charge is the charge of an electron, which is approximately \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) coulombs. Charges can only exist as integer multiples of this fundamental charge. For example, you can have 1e, 2e, 3e, etc., but not 1.5e or 2.3e. Therefore, Statement I is **True**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II **Statement II:** Charge, which is less than 1 C, is not possible. - **Explanation:** This statement suggests that it is not possible to have a charge less than 1 coulomb. However, this is incorrect. Charges can indeed be much smaller than 1 coulomb. For example, the charge of a single electron is \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) coulombs, which is far less than 1 coulomb. Therefore, Statement II is **False**. ### Conclusion - **Final Evaluation:** - Statement I is True. - Statement II is False. ### Summary - The first statement is correct as charge is quantized. - The second statement is incorrect because charges can exist in amounts less than 1 coulomb.
