Question

Explain the terms:
(a) quantization of charge
(b) conservation of charge​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)Quantization of charge implies that charge can assume only certain discrete values. That is to say the observed value of electric charge (q) of a particle will be integral multiples of (e) 1. 6×10−19 coulombs.

2)a principle in physics: the total electric charge of an isolated system remains constant irrespective of whatever internal changes may take place.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Quantization of charge- 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. Because all charges are associated with a whole electron, this is possible.

Conservation of charge- Charge conservation is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.
