Bodies P, Q, R, S are labelled as having charges \(Q_P = 0.5 \times 10^{-19}C\), \(Q_Q = 0.7 \times 10^{-19}C\), \(Q_R = 2.1 \times 10^{-19}C\), \(Q_S = 4.8 \times 10^{-19}C\) respectively. Select the body having the correct charge.
[Given electronic charge \(= e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}C\)]
- A \(Q_Q = 0.7 \times 10^{-19}C\)
- B \(Q_P = 0.5 \times 10^{-19}C\)
- C \(Q_S = 4.8 \times 10^{-19}C\)
- D \(Q_R = 2.1 \times 10^{-19}C\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(Q_S = 4.8 \times 10^{-19}C\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to the principle of quantization of charge, the charge on a body must be an integral multiple of the elementary charge \(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C\). \(Q = ne\) For body P, \(n = \dfrac{0.5 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} = \dfrac{5}{16}\) (not an integer) For…
