Best Answer

The SI unit of electric charge is called the coulomb. It is a derived unit, and is defined as the amount of charge moved by a steady state current of one ampere for one second. Alternatively, it is defined as the amount of charge across a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential of one volt.

In terms of elementary charge, from nuclear physics, it is defined as the charge represented by about 6.24150965 x 1018 protons or electrons.
