In case of going to upstairs there may be two options. One is just by stepping up in the stairs. The other may be an esclator

In case of steps only some descrete heights are available. But in esclator any height is possible. Hence continuous.

Same way in case of charge it is found that the elementary value or basic value available is 1.6 x 10-19 C. This is denoted as e. We cannot expect half of this or 1/10 of this. Only an integral multiple of this elementary value is possible. It may be some 32949234 times of e.

Quantized charge is charge that only comes in integer units of a basic charge. The basic charge seems to be the charge of 1/3 of an electron.

The law of the quantization of the charge?

The principle that the electric charge of an object must equal an integral multiple of a universal basic charge.


What is meant by quantization in physics?

When a quantity is "quantized," it means that the quantity exists in discrete indivisible units. For example, the magnitude of electric charge is quantized, and the quantum of electric charge is the charge of the electron e. There is no known free particle with a charge of 1/2 e or 9.1254e, only particles with charges of 1e, 2e, 5e, 99e, 423425e, etc.There are numerous other quantities that can be quantized including angular momentum, energy, and even electrical conductance.


Why are you not aware of energy quantization in your daily life?

Most people aren't aware of it because a) the quanta are extremely small and b) they don't know what to look for. However, if you do know what to look for, there are ways to observe it without any fancy equipment... the most recent quantization phenomenon I noticed was the way fluorescent light was refracting off of a CD.


What is the contribution of Dr. Danilo M. Yanga in physics?

Dr. Yanga has produced high quality papers that have been published in numerous scientific journals. Much of his work involves the theory of stochastic quantization in quantum field theory. He is currently working on the "The Hamiltonian Formulation of Stochastic Quantization" and the "Theory of Everything," which links together all physical phenomena found in nature.

What are advantages of vector quantization?

Vector quantization lowers the bit rate of the signal being quantized thus making it more bandwidth efficient than scalar quantization. But this however contributes to it's implementation complexity (computation and storage).
