Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A ).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The charge on any body can be expressed as the integral multiple of basic unit of charge i.e., charge on one electron. This phenomena is called quantisation of electric charge. It can be written as \(\mathrm{q}= \pm n e\), where \(n=1,2,3 \ldots\). Charge is said to be quantised…
