Explain the term quantization of charge.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Existence of charge in discrete packets rather than in continuous manner is known quantization of charge.
The magnitude of charge on a proton or an electron (e) is called elementary charge. TI charge present on a body is the integral multiple of e.
I.e., `q = ne "ne"`
where q = Total charnge present on the body
`n =1,2,3,4,.....`
`e = 1.6 xx10^(-19)C`
