Explain quantization of charge.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In general the charge on a body `q=+-"ne"` . This is known as law of quantisation of charge (n is an integer and e is the charge on an electron ). According to this law a charge on electron can never be given to a body . The chage on an electron e=1.6xx10^(-19)` coulomb.
