About Electric Charge Units
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that determines how it experiences a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C), which is defined as the amount of charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
Common Electric Charge Units
- Coulomb (C): The SI unit of electric charge, equal to the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
- Millicoulomb (mC): Equal to 0.001 coulombs.
- Microcoulomb (μC): Equal to 0.000001 coulombs.
- Ampere-hour (Ah): A unit of electric charge commonly used for batteries, equal to 3,600 coulombs.
- Elementary Charge (e): The electric charge carried by a single proton or electron, approximately 1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs.
Applications of Electric Charge Measurement
