i dont think u have found this question in any buks.........
it might be formulated by u..................
i totally agree wit feyman...........
i think i can explan it in another way.............
if u bring an uncharged sphere near an electron nothing happens. no charge distribution occurs. this is becaz we have prooved tht charged pocessed by an electron is the fundamental charge.its the smallest chrge ever possible. only integral multiples of this charge can be seen anywhere. even though [(1/3)charge of an electron] is theoreticallly explained by physicst we dont bring them in calculations.......
