What is meant by continuous distribution
of charge
Answers
The excess electric charge on a charged body is always an integral multiple of the electronic (or elementary) charge e, and hence discrete. On the macroscopic scale, however, the charge on a body is so large compared to the electronic charge that the discreteness is not noticeable. It seems that the charge on the body can change by continuous amounts. Then the body is said to have continuous distribution of charge.
A continuous distribution of charge can be uniform or nonuniform. Charges can move freely on a conductor. When a charged conducting sphere is far from external charges.
Answer:
The continuous charge distribution system is a system in which the charge is uniformly distributed over the conductor. In continuous charge system, infinite numbers of charges are closely packed and have minor space between them.
