Question

Which value is given for the elementary charge?

Options

• \(e \approx 1.602 \times 10^{-19}\,\mathrm{C}\)

• \(e \approx 1.602\,\mathrm{C}\)

• \(e \approx 1.602 \times 10^{-9}\,\mathrm{C}\)

• \(e \approx 1.602 \times 10^{19}\,\mathrm{C}\)

Answer 1

The elementary charge is the smallest unit of free electric charge. Its approximate value is \(1.602 \times 10^{-19}\,\mathrm{C}\).
