What Is Electrical Charge?
Electrical charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes particles to experience electrical forces. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. The amount of electric charge is measured in coulombs (C), which is the standard SI unit.
One coulomb represents the amount of charge transported by a current of one ampere flowing for one second. In mathematical form:
Charge (Q) = Current (I) × Time (t)
Where:
- Q = Charge (Coulombs)
- I = Current (Amperes)
- t = Time (Seconds)
Common Electrical Charge Conversion Formulas
- 1 C = 1,000 mC
- 1 C = 1,000,000 μC
- 1 C = 1,000,000,000 nC
- 1 C = 1,000,000,000,000 pC
