What physical quantity corresponds to the rate of flow of charge?
Electric current
Is electric charge a derived or fundamental quantity?
fundamental
What is the dimension of an electric charge?
Electric charge is a fundamental quantity all its own, like mass, length, and time.
Is charge a fundamental unit or a derived unit?
In FPS system of units, feet is the fundamental unit of length, one of the fundamental physical quantities.
What is dimensions of all the physical quantity?
All physical quantities can be expressed in terms of Mass, Length, Time, and Charge.
Why is charge not a fundamental quantity?
Because the measurement of current is more convenient.we may take direct reading of current.
What physical quantity corresponds to the rate of flow of charge?
Electric current
Is electric charge a derived or fundamental quantity?
fundamental
Why current a fundamental quantity though it is flow of charge per unit time?
Ampere = Coloumb / second is the same as saying that Coloumb = Ampere x second. Any of the two electrical units can be derived from the other one. Ampere is NOT a "fundamental quantity"; it is an SI base unit. The base units are not necessarily those that are somehow considered more "fundamental" than others; instead, the base units are those that can be measured with a great accuracy. In the case of current vs. charge, it seems that measuring a current can be done with greater accuracy than measuring a charge directly; therefore, the current is the base unit, and the current is derived. However, this doesn't make current any more "fundamental" than charge.
What is dimensional formula of coulomb?
The Coulomb is a unit of electric charge. [Charge] is a fundamental quantity.
What is the formula for charge?
An electric charge is a physical quantity of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed near an electromagnetic field. Its formula is given as: charge = current x time.
What is the charge formula?
An electric charge is a physical quantity of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed near an electromagnetic field. Its formula is given as: charge = current x time.
What is the fundamental carrier of electric charge?
The fundamental carrier of electric charge is the electron. The charge on one electron is 1.6021765 × 10−19 Coulomb, and is negative. Charge can't exist in any smaller quantity, and all charges are multiples of this quantity. Protons have a positive charge of the same quantity, but they stay in their respective nuclei and don't participate in the movement of charge from place to place.
What is the dimension of an electric charge?
Electric charge is a fundamental quantity all its own, like mass, length, and time.
Is Specific charge is scalar or vector?
specific charge is because a physical quantity can be complete only when by giving magnitude only. Here the physical quantity is complete by its magnitude.
Is charge a fundamental unit or a derived unit?
In FPS system of units, feet is the fundamental unit of length, one of the fundamental physical quantities.
What is dimensions of all the physical quantity?
All physical quantities can be expressed in terms of Mass, Length, Time, and Charge.
