Question

What is the meaning of integral multiple of fundamental charge of an electron?

Answer 1

=Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.This is the reason for the terminology "elementary charge": it is meant to imply that it is an indivisible unit of charge.✔✔

Answer 2

Answer:

SI unit of charge is Coulomb. So, a charge distribution is always measured in Coulomb. Quantization of charge states that the magnitude of charge on a body must be an integral multiple of the magnitude of charge of an electron. ... Now, 'e' is the magnitude of the charge on an electron. So e = 1.6 × 10 -19 C.
