Is 9.8 ? 10^-12 coulomb charge is possible on a body?
Dear Student,
Charge quantization states that total charge on the body must be an integral multiple of the fundamental charge which is the charge on an electron(e).
Q = ne
Q = 9.8 × 10-12 C
e = 1.6 × 10-19 C
On substituting the value,
we get,
n = 61250000
this is an integer.
So body can have charge of 9.8 × 10-12 C.
Regards
