Question

What do you mean by quantization of electric charge?

Answer 1

Quantization of electric charge:

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