Answer» The SI derivedunitof quantity of electricchargeis the coulomb (symbol: C). The amount ofchargein 1 electron (elementarycharge) is approximately1.6×10−19 C, and 1 coulomb corresponds to the amount ofchargefor about6.24×1018 electrons. The symbol Q is often used to denote a quantity of electricity orcharge By convention we refer to the electron has having a negative charge and a proton as having a positive charge. From the definition of electric field in electrostatic chapter,we get that the word unit positive charge means a charge amount of +1 coulomb(S.I unit) charge. |
