  2. 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.

  3. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    The elementary charge is defined as a fundamental constant in the SI. [7] The value for elementary charge, when expressed in SI units, is exactly 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C. [1] After discovering the quantized character of charge, in 1891, George Stoney proposed the unit 'electron' for this fundamental unit of electrical charge. J. J.

  4. Coulomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb

    The SI defines the coulomb as "the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere". Then the value of the elementary charge e is defined to be 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C. [3]

  7. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    As such, the fine-structure constant is chiefly a quantity determining (or determined by) the elementary charge: e = √ 4πα ≈ 0.302 822 12 in terms of such a natural unit of charge. In the system of atomic units , which sets e = m e = ħ = 4 πε 0 = 1 , the expression for the fine-structure constant becomes α = 1 c . {\displaystyle ...

  9. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    "The ampere, symbol A, is the SI unit of electric current. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the elementary charge e to be 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 when expressed in the unit C, which is equal to A s, where the second is defined in terms of ∆ν Cs." [1]
