Define 1 coulomb and 1 ampere?
Answers
Explanation:
coulomb. noun. Abbr. C. The basic unit of electric charge, equal to the quantity of charge transferred in one second by a steady current of one ampere, and equivalent to 6.2415 × 1018 elementary charges, where one elementary charge is the charge of a proton or the negative of the charge of an electron.
1 ampere is defined as 1 coloumb of charge per second. An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor.
The SI unit of charge, the coulomb, "is the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere". Conversely, a current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second: In general, charge Q is determined by steady current I flowing for a time t as Q = It.
