Understanding Coulombs per Second and Amperes

1 coulomb per second (C/s) is exactly equal to 1 ampere (A). This equivalence is fundamental to electrical measurements and forms the basis of the SI unit system for electric current.

Key Points:

The ampere is the SI base unit for electric current, defined as the flow of 1/(1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹) elementary charges per second. This definition was established in 2019 as part of the revised SI system.

Common Applications:

Understanding the relationship between coulombs per second and amperes is crucial for:

  • Electrical engineering calculations
  • Circuit design and analysis
  • Power consumption measurements
  • Battery capacity specifications
