an electrical charge is measured in Coulombs, which is equal one ampere-second. That is, one ampere of current through a plane is equivalent to one coulomb of charge passing through the plane per second.

A coulomb is a measure of whereas an ampere is measure of?

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


What does the electrical term amperes mean?

Amperes are units of electrical current. They measure the amount of charge passing a point in a circuit line given a set amount of time.


How many kinds of electric charge are there?

There are two. Positive + and Negative - Positive is carried by the proton and negative is carried by the electron. What is usually talked about when people talk about charge is electrical potential. At zero potential there are equal number of electrons and protons. But in the real world that seldom happens so electrical potential is correct the potential difference between the state of two objects. In other words which one has the most or least electrons compared to its number of protons. Since this is hard to count we are lucky that the excess one of the other creates an electrical field and we can measure the strength of the field as a measure of the charge. The most common device to do this is a voltmeter which measures the electrical potential difference between to conductors such as the ends of a battery. There are other devices to measure the magnitude of static electrical fields.
