No. It is the unit for electric charge. The unit for resistance is the ohm.

What is the Unit of resistance measured in?

Resistance is measured in ohms.By Ohm's law, resistance is voltage divided by current, which is (joules per coulomb) divided by (coulombs per second), which is joules-seconds divided by coulombs squared. (It is easier to just say ohms.)


What is the ampere in terms of coulomb?

As an ampere is an SI base unit, it is NOT defined in terms of the coulomb. In fact, it is defined in terms of the force (in newtons) between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors. The coulomb, being an SI derived unit, is equivalent to an ampere second.


Unit of capacitor is?

The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.


What is the relation between voltage and current?

Voltage and current are two different things. Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points. Expressed in volts, it is also joules per coulomb. Current is the charge flow past a point. Expressed in amperes, it is also coulombs per second. You can relate voltage and current using Ohm's Law, which states that voltage is equal to current times resistance. Resistance is, therefore, equal to voltage divided by current. Using base units, resistance is equal to joules per coulomb divided by coulombs per second, which simplifies to joule-seconds per coulomb squared. That is a difficult unit to write, so we just use ohms as the unit.


What is the unit of electron current?

Electron current flow is measured in coulombs per second, which is known as amperes. A coulomb is about 6.242 × 1018 electrons.

What are the unit of charge?

The SI unit of charge is the coulomb. In the SI, this is NOT a "base unit"; it's a derived unit - 1 coulomb = 1 ampere x 1 second.

What is a Coulomb?

The coulomb is the SI unit of electrical charge. A coulomb, a unit of electrical charge, is defined as the amount of electric charge transported by a current of 1 ampere in 1 second.
