Coulomb
Defined as the quantity of charge which passes any section of a conductor in one second when a current of one ampere is flowing.
| 3600 Coulomb | = | 1 Ampere-hour [Ah] | 1 Coulomb | = | 6.24x1018 protons | |
| 1 Coulomb | = | -6.24x1018 electrons |
Electrons and protons each have exactly the same, although opposite, charges equal to 1.602x10-19C.
