Question

Charge is quantized means ______.

Options

• charges can take discrete values that are multiples of charge on neutron

• charges can take any continuous values

• charge cannot take any arbitrary values, but only values that are integral multiples of the fundamental charge

• charges can take any discontinuous values

Answer 1

Charge is quantized means charge cannot take any arbitrary values, but only values that are integral multiples of the fundamental charge.

Explanation:

Quantisation of charge is defined as q = `+-` ne, where n = number of electrons, which should be an integer, is used to compute total charge transferred from one body to another.
