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).
In SI units, Newton is the unit recognized for measurement of force. One newton is the force that produces an acceleration of 1m/s2 in a body of mass 1kg. Another such unit for force in the CGS system, is the dyne. One dyne is the force which produces an acceleration of 1cm/s2 in a body of mass 1gram.
