Question:
What is meant by quantization of charge?
Options:
The charge cannot be destroyed
Charge exists on particle
The charge cannot be created
A fraction of the minimum possible charge is not possible
Correct Answer:
A fraction of the minimum possible charge is not possible
Explanation:
Quantization of charge implies that charge can assume only certain discrete values. That is to say, the observed value of the electric charge (q) of a particle will be integral multiples of the charge of an electron.
