3. Suppose that you have an electrically charged stick. If you divide the stick in half, each half will have half the original c

harge. If you split each of these halves, each piece will have a quarter of the original charge. Can you keep on dividing the charge in this manner forever? If not, why not?

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.  

I hope it helps you!
