### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Understanding Quantization of Electric Charge** - The concept of quantization of electric charge refers to the idea that electric charge exists in discrete amounts rather than in a continuous range. This means that any charge \( Q \) on an object can be expressed as an integer multiple of a fundamental unit of charge, known as the elementary charge \( e \). **Step 2: Mathematical Representation** - The mathematical representation of quantization can be expressed as: \[ ...
