Electric Charge

Key Questions

• What is the SI unit to express the charge possessed by an object?

  Answer:

  Coulombs

  Explanation:

  The `"SI"` unit of charge is the coulomb, and is denoted by `"C"`. One coulomb is the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere per second.

  One coulomb is the total charge of approximately `6.242*10^18` protons.
