प्रश्न
Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic i.e., large scale charges?
उत्तर
When compared to an electron's charge, e = 1.6 x 10-19C, charges at the macroscopic level are huge. There are about 1013 electronic charges in just 1 nC of charge. Therefore, the quantization of electric charge is irrelevant at this high scale since charge might take on a continuous value instead of a discrete integral multiple of e.
