Question
Show all Work (steps) to receive credits. Problem # 1 (20 pts.) 1. The smallest unit of charge is that statement, below, is true or false: on an electron or proton is e1.6 x 1019 C. Indicate whether eadch a) It is possible to have less charge than this charge e (T, F) b) It is possible only to have integer multiples of this charge e (T, F) 2. The principle of superposition means that force on a charge in the presence of several other charge of the forces on that charges due to each of the other charges acting alone. 3. Which of these is correct? Choose all that apply b) A×B+B × A = 0 4. Which of the following statements are meaningless? Choose all that apply a) A-B+2A = 0 b) A-B+5-2A c)A(A+B)+2=0 d)A-A+B-B=0Explanation / Answer
1 (a)FALSE
The elementary charge e=1.6x10-19 C is the smallest charge possible .There are no other particles that have charge smaller than that.
1 (b) TRUE
charge quantization is the principle which states that charge cannot take any arbitrary values, but only values that are integral multiples of the fundamental charge (charge of proton/electron) .
This is the reason for the terminology "elementary charge": it is meant to imply that it is an indivisible unit of charge.
