  1. The S.I. unit of electric charge is :
    1. ampere
    2. coulomb
    3. e.s.u
    4. kelvin
Correct Option: B

The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb, which is equivalent to about 6.242×1018 e (e is the charge of a proton). Hence, the charge of an electron is approximately -1.602×10-19 C. The coulomb is defined as the quantity of charge that has passed through the cross section of an electrical conductor carrying one ampere within one second.
