coulomb
The coulomb (symbol: C) is the unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined to be equal to the electric charge delivered by a 1 ampere current in 1 second, with the elementary charge e as a defining constant in the SI.
elementary charge
the electric charge carried by a single proton or a single positron
Faraday constant
physical constant: electric charge of one mole of electrons
ampere hour
An ampere-hour or amp-hour (symbol: A⋅h or A h, often simplified as Ah) is a unit of electric charge, recommended for use in batteries and electrolytic devices. It has dimensions of electric current multiplied by time and corresponds to the charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere flowing for one hour (3,600 seconds). Thus 1A⋅h equals 3600 A⋅s or 3.6kC (kilocoulombs).
Planck charge
unit of charge in the system of Planck units
statcoulomb
The statcoulomb (statC), franklin (Fr), or electrostatic unit of charge (esu) is the unit of measurement for electrical charge used in the centimetre–gram–second electrostatic units variant (CGS-ESU) and Gaussian systems of units. In terms of the Gaussian base units, it is
abcoulomb
The abcoulomb (abC or aC) or electromagnetic unit of charge (emu of charge) is the derived physical unit of electric charge in the cgs-emu system of units. One abcoulomb is equal to ten coulombs.
