(a) explain the menaing of the statement electric charge of a body is quantised
(b) why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macrosocpic large scale charges

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electric charge of a body is quantized . This means that only integral (1,2,……,n) number of electrons can be transferred from one body to the other , charges are not transferred in fraction . Hence a body possesses total charge only in integral multiples of electric charge.
