Solution

The charge on an electron is $- 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$ . The charge is a quantized quantity and it can only vary in steps of $1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$ (which is a quite small quantity). So we can consider it as continuous. However, it consists of discrete steps of $- 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$ .
