A charged body contains charge `q = 0.8 xx 10^(-19)` C . Is it possible ? Give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given charge `q =0.8 xx 10^(-19)C `
q = ne
`implies 0.8 xx 10^(-19) = n (1.6 xx 10^(-19))`
`implies n = (0.8)/(1.6) = (1)/(2) = 0.5`
`implies n = 0.5`
Since , the value of n is not an integer , so it is not possible for a body to have a charge of `0.8 xx 10^(-19)` C .
