Question

What do you mean by quantization of charges?

Open in App
Solution

Charge quantization means that charge cannot take any arbitrary values, but only values that are integral multiples of the fundamental charge (charge of proton/electron). For example, in a hydrogen ion, we usually denote it with a positive sign to indicate that there's one proton which is more than electrons.
