Is charge quantized

answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Fundamental unit of charge in electromagnetism is charge of electron or proton.
 
Magnitude of this fundmental unit of charge is 1.602 × 10-19 C .  
All the charges we come across in electromagnetism is multiple of this fundamental charge.
In this way, we can consider, charge is quantised.
 
But in nuclear physics that involves study of sub atomic particle, particles can have fraction of fundamental charge.
 
For example, charge of neutron is zero, but neutron is having non-zero magnetic moment.
 
This is explained on the basis of quark model, i.e. neutron is made up of one upward quark that has charge (+2/3)e
 
and two downward quark each have (-1/3)e . Hence total charge is zero, but due to the orientation of these quarks,
neutron is having non-zero magnetic moment

  Earthing provides a safety measure for electrical circuits and appliances. A thick metal plate is buried deep into the earth and thick wires are drawn from this plate; these are used in buildings for the purpose of earthing near the mains supply. Why only "thick" wire and "thick" metal plates are used?

Sir the ans to this quesn is i3=-5/6 A so this means curretn flows from A to D (opp to current indicated in diagram) but through KVL we found PE at D is always greater than A, C,E hence it will always flow from D to other points. 1) How it is voilating Ienter=Iexit. 2)How current flows from A to D even though D is high PE?
