Charge Converter

About This Tool

This Charge Converter is a fundamental tool for physics, chemistry, and electronics. It converts units of electric charge, which is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. The base unit is the coulomb (C), the SI unit of electric charge.

This tool covers the standard SI units, practical units used in battery technology like the ampere-hour, and fundamental constants like the elementary charge of a single proton or electron. It's essential for calculations in electrostatics, electrochemistry, and circuit analysis.

Tips & Features

• The Coulomb: The coulomb (C) is the standard unit, defined as the amount of electric charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
• Ampere-hour (Ah): This is a common unit for measuring the capacity of batteries. An ampere-hour is the charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere for one hour. A 10 Ah battery can theoretically supply 1 amp for 10 hours, or 10 amps for 1 hour.
• Elementary Charge (e): This is the smallest observable unit of electric charge and is a fundamental physical constant. It is the magnitude of the charge of a single proton (or the negative of the charge of a single electron).
