1 coulomb per second = 1 amp.
Note "coulomb" is the NUMBER of electrons
....... "amps" is a measure of flow.
AnswerAn ampere (not 'amp') is not defined in terms of coulombs, but in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. However, an ampere is equivalent to (but not defined as) a coulomb per second.

What units are used for q?
Coulombs for charge or Joules for heat capacity
How much energy is supplied to each coulomb of charge that flows through a 12 v battery?
12 watts or 12 joules of energy.In one second, 1 coulomb is 1 amp, so the power is 1 amp x 12 volts = 12 watts, and in that one second, that is 12 Joules of energy.
How much current exists if 225 coulombs pass a poinjt in 5 seconds?
1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/sec (225 Coulomb) / (5 sec) = 45 Coulomb/sec = 45 Amp.
What is coulmb?
(coulomb) A quantity of electric charge. Passage of 1 coulomb per second along a wire is called 1 amp (ampere) of electric current.
How are volts related to Joules?
When one coulomb of charge (electrons) is lifted through a potential difference of 1 volt, it gains one joule of energy. When one coulomb of charge (like 1 Amp flowing for 1 second) drops through a potential difference of one volt, it loses one joule of energy ... which is used to generate 1 joule of heat and/or light, transmit 1 watt of radio for 1 second, run a 1-watt motor for 1 second, etc.
What must you multiply to get one coulomb?
1 Coulomb = 1 amp for 1 second
An ampere is used to measure what?
"Amp" is a contraction for ampere. It is a unit of measurement for the flow of electrical current. 1 Ampere equals 1 Coulomb of electrons flowing past a point in 1 sec. Mathematically: 1 Amp = 1 C /sec For more discussion of a Coulomb see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb
What units are used for q?

How much is an amp in terms of charges flowing per second?
1 ampere = 1 coulomb / second. Actually, in the SI, it is defined the other way round; the ampere is the base unit, and the coulomb is defined as 1 ampere-second. However, it is easier to think of the ampere as 1 coulomb/second.
How many joules are in a single coulomb?
1 coulomb is the electric charge carried in 1 second by a current of 1 amp. 1 joule is the work done in one second at a power of 1 watt. So they are different things, with different dimensions, you can't equate them. To find the power caused by a flow of 1 coulomb you have to know the resistance of the circuit, the power in watts is then I2R.
How much energy is supplied to each coulomb of charge that flows through a 12 v battery?
12 watts or 12 joules of energy.In one second, 1 coulomb is 1 amp, so the power is 1 amp x 12 volts = 12 watts, and in that one second, that is 12 Joules of energy.
How much current exists if 225 coulombs pass a poinjt in 5 seconds?
1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/sec (225 Coulomb) / (5 sec) = 45 Coulomb/sec = 45 Amp.
How many electrons flows when 1 amp current flows from conductor?
1A current produced when the charge of I coulomb flows in 1 second.The no. of electrons present in 1 coulomb is 1/1.6 x 10-19= .625 x 10-19 electrons.but no. of electrons cannot be in fractions. So, it is 6 x 1018 electrons.
Is a coulomb a measure of quantity whereas an ampere is a measure of rate?
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.
What is coulmb?
(coulomb) A quantity of electric charge. Passage of 1 coulomb per second along a wire is called 1 amp (ampere) of electric current.
How many electrons make up 1 amp?
One amp represents the flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge per second. Therefore answer is the number of electrons in one coulomb:6.2415 × 1018 electronsSee How_many_electrons_are_in_1.0_coulomb_of_chargefor more information.
Can you give the meaning of coulomb in terms of ampere?
1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second 1 coulomb = 1 ampere x second
