Question
What is quantization of charge?
✓
Answer
No matter what may be the reason for the origin of charge on any charged object, the charge is always an absolute multiple of the charge of the electron, not a fractional multiple. In mathematical form $q= \pm$ ne where $n=$ integer multiple number $i . e . n =0,1,2,3, \ldots$
