MCQ
The quantisation of charge indicates that:
  • Charge, which is a fraction of charge on an electron, is not possible.
  • B
    A charge cannot be destroyed.
  • C
    Charge exists on particles.
  • D
    There exists a minimum permissible charge on a particle.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Charge, which is a fraction of charge on an electron, is not possible.

The quantisation of charge means that when we say something has some charge, we mean by that that how many times the charge of electrons it has. Because the whole charge is associated with an electron.
