About These Units
Coulomb (C)
The coulomb (C) is the SI unit of electric charge, defined as the charge transferred by 1 ampere flowing for 1 second. One coulomb equals 6.242×10¹⁸ elementary charges (electrons or protons). Named after physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb. Formula: Q = I × t (charge = current × time).
ESU of Charge (esu)
The ESU (electrostatic unit) of charge is identical to the statcoulomb and franklin, equal to approximately 3.336×10⁻¹⁰ coulombs. Part of the Gaussian CGS system used in some theoretical physics contexts. One coulomb ≈ 2.998×10⁹ esu.
