Question

The quantization of electric charge implies that:

विकल्प

• Charge always equals exactly one coulomb

• Charge can take any continuous fractional value

• Charge exists only in integral multiples of the elementary charge

• Charge is distributed uniformly over a body

Answer 1

Quantization of charge means that charge exists only in integral multiples of the elementary charge \(e\). Any charge must be of the form \(q = ne\), where \(n\) is a whole number.
