He used a torsional device to accurately measure force. He'd hook one charged spherical ball onto the torsional device then place another charged sphere a distance away from the other. The electrical force would push the sphere on the torsional device and he would measure the tension change. This gave him a measurable force.
As for describing the torsional device, think of a ball held in the air tied on both top and bottom by a string. By tightening the string until it negates gravity (hold it so the strings are parallel to the ground then tighten till it the ball is centered.) Then when the electrical force is applied, you can measure the force needed to tighten it to return to the center again.
The coulomb is the SI unit of measure of electric charge, equal to the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
A positive test charge of 1.6 x 10-11 C is placed in an electric field The force acting on it is 3.2 x 10-4 N What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity at the point where the charge is placed
(coulomb) A quantity of electric charge. Passage of 1 coulomb per second along a wire is called 1 amp (ampere) of electric current.
The unit for charge is the coulomb, which is equal to 1 A s (ampere times second).
A Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, equal to the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
A coulomb is a measure of electric charge and is equal to -6.24151 x 10^18 electrons.
A coulomb is a measure of electric charge. An ampere is a measure of electric current - how much charge passes per second. 1 ampere = 1 coulomb / second.
Electric charge / current.
A coulomb is a unit for measurement of electrical charge and an ampere is the unit used for measurement of electric current.
Coulomb is a measure of electric charge:One coulomb is the amount of electric charge transported in one second by a steady current of one ampere.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb
Yes. The Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, and it is defined as the charge carried by a current of 1 amp in 1 second. Another way to look at this might be that the coulomb is a measure of charge (electrons) and the ampere is a measure of the rate of transfer of those charges.
The coulomb is an SI derived unit used to measure electric charge. It is a special name given to an 'ampere second', which are both SI base units.
The Coulomb is a unit of electric charge. [Charge] is a fundamental quantity.
The coulomb is a measure of electric charge, while an ampere (or amp) is a measure of current flow. These are SI units, and links can be found below to check facts and learn more.
Electric current is a flow of electrons is a measure of the quantity of electrical charge passing any point of the wire in a unit time.And, electric current is measured in ampere (A).Whereas, electric charge is the quantity of electricity that flows in electric currents . And , it is measured in coulomb (C)
Is a coulomb a measure of quantity whereas an ampere is a measure of rate?AnswerThe coulomb is the SI derived unit for electric charge. The ampere is the SI base unit for electric current.The coulomb is defined in terms of the ampere and the second. The ampere is defined in terms of the newton and the metre.
coulomb (C)
