Coulomb

Coulomb is a unit of measurement used to describe the amount of electric charge. Named after the scientist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it quantifies how much electric charge is held or transferred. One Coulomb corresponds to approximately 6.24 x 10^18 electrons or protons. In practical terms, it helps measure the strength of electric interactions between charged objects; the larger the Coulomb, the stronger the electric force. This measurement is fundamental in understanding how electricity behaves in circuits, atoms, and many other systems involving charged particles.
