Question

Explain the following terms:- a)Quantization of charge. (b)Coservation of Charge (c) Charge are invariance (d) Additivity of charge

Answer 1

a) Quantization of charge means that when we say something has a given charge, we mean that that is how many times the charge of a single electron it has.
b) Charge conservation is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes.
c) Charge invariance refers to the fixed electrostatic potential of a particle, regardless of speed.
d) Electric charge , additivity of charges, conservation and quantization of charge.
