What Is a Coulomb?

A coulomb is a unit used to measure electric charge.

The coulomb is the SI derived unit for electric charge in the metric system. Coulombs can be abbreviated as C; for example, 1 coulomb can be written as 1 C.

Background and Origin

Coulombs are named in honor of Charles-Augustin de Coulomb who published a law quantifying the force between two electrically charged particles in 1785. This law is known today as Coulomb's Law. The coulomb was named as a unit of electromotive force in 1881.

How Much Is a Coulomb?

One coulomb is the electric charge equal to one ampere of current over one second.[1]

The coulomb can be expressed as QC = IA × ts

The charge in coulombs is equal to the current in amperes times the time in seconds.

How to Convert Coulombs

To convert coulombs to another unit of electric charge, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[2]

You can find the conversion factors for coulombs in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the electric charge measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

coulombs × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
