Question

give an example of quantisation of charge and conservation of charge? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Irrespective of any process taking place, the algebraic sum of electric charges in an

electrically isolated system always remains constant. This statement is called the law of

conservation of charge.

Charge quantization, then, means that charge cannot take any arbitrary values, but only values that are integral multiples of the fundamental charge. For example, in a hydrogen ion, we usually denote it with a positive sign to indicate that there's one proton more than there are electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

Conservation of charges:

Total charge in an isolated system is always conserved. When there are many bodies in an isolated system, the charges get transferred from one body to another but the net charge of the system remains same.

During rubbing or natural forces, no new charge is created. The charges are either redistributed or a neutron breaks up into proton and electron of equal and opposite charge.

Quantization of charges:

The charge is always represented in the form of, q = ne. Here n is an integer and e is the charge (- for electron and + for proton). Magnitude of e = 1.602192 X 10-19 This is called quantization of charge.

SI unit of charge is Coulomb (C).

Quantization is usually ignored at macroscopic levels (μC) because at that point, charges are taken to be continuous.

Example

1. When two bodies(initially neutral) are charged by rubbing, Charge is transferred from one body to another. But total charge on both bodies still remains zero.
2. During radioactive decay, a proton(charge +e) decays into a positron(charge +e) and a neutron. In this case also, the total charge remains same
