"The ""Coulomb"" is the SI Unit of what?"
Coulomb since superseded). This proposal is not yet accepted as part of the SI. Coulomb The coulomb (symbol: C) is the International System of Units (SI) unit of electric charge. It is the charge (symbol: "Q" or "q") transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second: Thus, it is also the amount of excess charge on a capacitor of one farad charged to a potential difference of one volt: The coulomb is equivalent to the charge of approximately ( mol) protons, and −1 C is equivalent to the charge of approximately electrons. A new definition, in terms of
Coulomb the volt was defined as the potential difference [i.e., what is nowadays called the "voltage (difference)"] across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power. The coulomb (later "absolute coulomb" or "abcoulomb" for disambiguation) was part of the EMU system of units. The "international coulomb" based on laboratory specifications for its measurement was introduced by the IEC in 1908. The entire set of "reproducible units" was abandoned in 1948 and the "international coulomb" became the modern Coulomb. The proposed redefinition of the ampere and other SI base units would fix the numerical value of the
