Formulas for electrical charge


The electrical charge is given in coulombs (C) or ampere seconds (As). 1 C = 1 As. Or to put it another way, the electric charge is +1 C if there are \(6.248\; 509\; 074 × 10^{18} \) more protons than electrons in and on a body, or -1C' if there are \(6.248\; 509\; 074 × 10^{18} \) more electrons than protons in and on it.

In practice, of course, the different numbers of protons and electrons in a body are not counted but the current (amperes) is measured over a certain period of time. The result of the measurement can then be converted into amperes / second (As) or coulombs using the calculator above.

The storage capacity of a battery is referred to as the nominal charge, which is given in ampere hours (Ah). 1 Ah = 3600 C.

Electric charge:

\[ Charge= Current · Time\] \[ C=I·t[s]\] \[ Ah=I·t[h]\]

Electric current:

\[I=\frac{C}{t[s]}\] \[ I=\frac{Ah}{t[h]}\]

Period:

\[ t[s]=\frac{C}{I}\] \[ t[h]=\frac{Ah}{I}\]
