No, a coulomb is a derived unit.

A base unit is a unit that isn't made by combining other units. There are seven base units, including metre (length), kilogram (mass), and second (time).

Coulomb is the unit of electric charge. One coulomb is the charge delivered by a steady current one ampere in one second. It is derived from the base units ampere (electric current) and second (time).

What is the SI unit of charge?

coulomb ----------------------------------------- Coulomb (symbol C) is a derived unit for electrical charge in SI; the base units are: 1 C = A x s So, the coulomb is the electrical charge transported by an ampere in one second.


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.

No, Coloumb is the unit of charge. The SI unit of energy is Joule.


What is the current flow of one coulomb per secound?

That is called an Ampere. By the way, in the SI the Ampere is defined as a base unit; the Coulomb is the derived unit.


What is the unit of the Coulomb constant?

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.
