1.

The quantisation of charge was first suggested by ________________1. Michael Faraday2. Sir Issac Newton3. Rutherford4. Max Planck

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Michael Faraday

Concept:

Quantization of charge: It is a property of charge by which charge on any object can be expressed in an integral multiple of unit charge.

  • Charge on an object is given by Q = n x e

Where Q is the total charge

n is an integer value

e is a charge on an electron (1.6 x 10-19 C)

  • In 1833 physicist Micheal Faraday first suggested the quantization of charge in experimental laws of electrolysis.

  •  In 1912 Millikan demonstrated quantization of charge by oil drop experiment.
  • Which concluded that the charge is an integral multiple of unit value which is 1.6 x 10-19 Columb.
