Coulomb
The coulomb (symbol: C) is the unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It’s used to measure the quantity of electric charge. One coulomb is defined as the amount of electric charge carried by a current of one ampere (A) flowing for one second. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
1 Coulomb = 1 Ampere x 1 second
Electron Charge
The charge of an electron is a fundamental physical constant that represents the basic unit of electric charge carried by an electron. Electrons have a negative charge, which is conventionally represented as “-e”. The elementary charge (e) is approximately equal to:
e ≈ -1.602176634 × 10-19 coulombs
How to convert coulombs to electron charge
1C = 6.24150975⋅1018e
or
1e = 1.60217646⋅10-19C
Coulombs to electron charge conversion formula
Q(e) = Q(C) × 6.24150975 x 1018
Example – Convert 3 coulombs to electron charge:
Ans. Q(e) = 3C × 6.24150975 x 1018 = 1.872 x 1019e
