(a) Explain the meaning of the statement ‘electric charge of a body is quantised’.(b) Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic i.e., large scale charges? |
|
Answer» (a) Electric charge of a body is quantized. This means that only integral (1, 2… n) number of electrons can be transferred from one body to the other. Charges are not transferred in fraction. Hence, a body possesses total charge only in integral multiples of electric charge. |
