Question

A body can acquire a charge which is only an integral multiple of the charge of magnitude……..

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The charge on a body must always exist as an integral multiple of the fundamental charge $\text{'}e\text{'}$, the charge of an electron, where $e=1.6\times {10}^{-19}C$.
2. Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the fundamental charge '$e$'.
3. The charge $\left(Q\right)$ of a body can be written as : $Q=ne,wheren=integermultiple$

Hence, a body can acquire a charge which is only an integral multiple of the charge of magnitude $1.6\times {10}^{-19}C,whereC=Coulomb$.
