The minimum charge on any object cannot be less than
Correct answer: D. 1.6 x 10^-19C
- A. 3.2x I 0-19C
- B. 9.1×10⁹C
- C. No definite value exists
- D. 1.6 x 10^-19C
Explanation
This the charge on an electron or a proton. As a charged body must have at a electron or proton. So, a charge body can only have a minimum charge of 1 .6x I 0-I9C

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
