Question

How is charge quantized?


Open in App
Solution

Charge can be quantized in the following ways:

  1. The quantization introduced by Neil Bohr is the concept that the quantized quantity can only take certain discrete values.
  2. Hence charge quantization states that the object charge is the integral multiple of its elementary charge.
  3. The above hypothesis was confirmed by Mulliken's oil drop experiment.
