Coulomb (C)
The coulomb (C) is the SI unit of electric charge — one ampere of current for one second (A·s).
Coulombs quantify capacitor charge, electrostatic charge transfer, and total charge moved in a circuit over time.

Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The coulomb (C) is the SI unit of electric charge — one ampere of current for one second (A·s).
Coulombs quantify capacitor charge, electrostatic charge transfer, and total charge moved in a circuit over time.
The elementary charge e equals exactly 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹ coulomb — the magnitude of charge on a single proton or electron (2019 SI exact value).
Elementary charge is the quantum of charge in physics problems, semiconductor carrier counts, and chemistry stoichiometry.
e = C × 6,241,509,074,460,763,000C = e × 0.00000000000000000016, using the same exact factors as this converter.
