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:

1 C = 1 A 1 s

Thus, it is also the amount of excess charge on a capacitor of one farad charged to a potential difference of one volt:

1 C = 1 F 1 V

It is equivalent to the charge of approximately 6.242×1018 (1.036×10−5 mol) protons, and −1 C is equivalent to the charge of approximately 6.242×1018 electrons. Wikipedia, Coulomb
