The Coulomb is a 'derived' unit depending on the basic units of the metric system. So one Coulomb is the amount of charge in an electric current of one Ampere/second--the Ampere being the current required to obtain an amount of magnetic force between a pair of current carrying wires. The Millikan oil drop experiment, which measures the charge on a single electron, provides the answer to how many electrons per second are in one Ampere.

A single electron has a charge of 1.60217733 × 10-19 Coulombs. A collection of 6.2415 × 1018 electrons has a charge of one Coulomb (1/1.60217733x10-19).

One Coulomb is how many electrons?

There are about 6.24 x 1018 electrons (or protons) in one coulomb of charge.


1 coulumb charge is equal to how many electrons?

The elementary charge ... the amount on one electron or one proton ... is 1.602 x 10-19 coulomb.So, in order to collect one coulomb, you'd need 6.242 x 1018 electrons or protons.(That's the number of electrons that pass by the middle of the wire every secondwhen the current in it is 1 Ampere.)


What is bigger- a coulomb or charge on an electron?

One Coulomb is the charge of about 6,241,510,000,000,000,000 electrons, so it looks likea Coulomb would probably be bigger than the charge on one electron.


How many electrons are in -1 coulomb?

One coulomb is equivalent to approximately 6.242 x 10^18 electrons.


How many electrons in one columb?

one culomb have 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electrons


Is the coulomb the charge on one electron?

no. IIRC it is the charge of 1 mole of electrons.


How many electrons make up 1Coulomb of negative charge?

In one Coulomb of negative charge, there are approximately 6.24 x 10^18 electrons. This is because each electron has a charge of -1.6 x 10^-19 Coulombs, and one Coulomb is equivalent to 6.24 x 10^18 electrons.


If an electric current is flowing through a parallel circuit which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circuit?

It makes no difference whether the circuit is parallel, series or complex. The number of electrons travelling (or oscillating back and forth for AC) is determined by the current (amps). 1 amp = 1 coulomb/second. 1 coulomb = the charge represented by 6.24150962915265 x 1018 electrons. The current in each leg of a parallel circuit has to be worked out separately.


How many electrons does it take to produce -1 coulomb of charge?

It takes 6.25E18 electrons to produce 1 coulomb of charge.


Is the unit of charge the Coulomb the charge on a specific large number of electrons?

The coulomb (symbol: C) is the SI derived unit of electric charge. It is defined as the charge transported by a steady current of one ampere in one second:One coulomb is also the amount of excess charge on the positive side of acapacitance of one farad charged to a potential difference of one volt:


How many electrons make up 1 amp?

One amp represents the flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge per second. Therefore answer is the number of electrons in one coulomb:6.2415 × 1018 electronsSee How_many_electrons_are_in_1.0_coulomb_of_chargefor more information.
