The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb.

Explanation:

The coulomb, "C", is derived from the fundamental SI unit of time, the second, "s", and the fundamental SI unit of electric current, the ampere, "A". It is the charge ("Q or q") transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
"1 C"="1A"*"s"

A coulomb is equivalent to the charge of approximately 6.242xx10^18 protons, or 1.036xx10^(−5) mol of protons. Each proton has an elementary charge of +1e.
