  2. Coulomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb

    The coulomb (symbol: C) is the unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). [1] [2] It is defined to be equal to the electric charge delivered by a 1 ampere current in 1 second. It is used to define the elementary charge e. [2] [1]

  3. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb (symbol: C). The coulomb is defined as the quantity of charge that passes through the cross section of an electrical conductor carrying one ampere for one second. [6] This unit was proposed in 1946 and ratified in 1948. [6] The lowercase symbol q is often used to denote a quantity of ...

  5. Elementary charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge

    In the SI system of units, the value of the elementary charge is exactly defined as = 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 coulombs, or 160.2176634 zeptocoulombs (zC). [3] Since the 2019 revision of the SI, the seven SI base units are defined in terms of seven fundamental physical constants, of which the elementary charge is one.

    For example, the coherent derived SI unit of velocity is the metre per second, with the symbol m/s. [1]: 139 The base and coherent derived units of the SI together form a coherent system of units (the set of coherent SI units). A useful property of a coherent system is that when the numerical values of physical quantities are expressed in terms ...

  7. Statcoulomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statcoulomb

    The SI uses the coulomb (C) as its unit of electric charge. The conversion factor between corresponding quantities with the units coulomb and statcoulomb depends on which quantity is to be converted. The most common cases are: [2] For electric charge:

  8. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    The SI system after 1983, but before the 2019 revision: Dependence of base unit definitions on other base units (for example, the metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in a specific fraction of a second), with the constants of nature and artefacts used to define them (such as the mass of the IPK for the kilogram).

  9. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    In an electrolyte the charge carriers are ions, while in plasma, an ionized gas, they are ions and electrons. [3] In the International System of Units (SI), electric current is expressed in units of ampere (sometimes called an "amp", symbol A), which is equivalent to one coulomb per second.
