The S.I. unit of electric charge is :
-
- ampere
- coulomb
- e.s.u
- kelvin
- ampere
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.
