Over the Counter Medications Drugs that are safe and effective for use by the general public without a prescription are defined as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. These drugs are often located on shelves in pharmacies with easy access by patients, but may also be located in non-pharmacy outlets, such as grocery stores, convenience marts and large discount retailers.
Objects simply do not acquire charges on the order of 1.00 Coulomb. In fact, more likely Q values are on the order of 10-9 or possibly 10-6 Coulombs. For this reason, a Greek prefix is often used in front of the Coulomb as a unit of charge. Charge is often expressed in units of microCoulomb (ÂµC) and nanoCoulomb (nC).
1 Although it is dimensionally equivalent to 1/seconds, it is never used for angular frequency or angular velocity. 2  Similarly, the units for torque (N m) are dimensionally equivalent to the units for work and energy (joules), but joules are strictly a unit of energy and we never use them as a unit of torque.
