Question

10. The charge on a proton is 1.6022 x 10 coulomb. Express in it in usual form.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This came along surprisingly late. The Coulomb was first defined in 1880 or so, by the International Electrical Congress, who adopted the volt as the unit of electromotive force, the ampere as the unit of electric current, and the Coulomb as the unit of electric charge. The volt was then defined simply as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of 1 Ampere dissipates one watt of power. In terms of these units a Coulomb could be defined as 1 Ampere-second, which is the charge transported by a DC current of one ampere during one second. These units were slightly cleaned up in about 1910 and in the SI system the Coulomb was adopted as the unit of charge.
