Solution
Quantization of electric charge:
According to charge quantization, any charged particle can have a charge equal to some integral number of e, i.e.,, where n=1, 2, 3,….Here, is the value of charge on the electron.
As a result, a charge cannot have any arbitrary value but must be an integral multiple of the fundamental charge.
We know that the charge is quantized because of this.
