UNIT OF CHARGE
Till now we have understood that there is a basic property which is associated with elementary particles which is called ELECTRIC CHARGE . Now question arises that how can you define electric charge .
In real scenario it is very difficult to define charge as it is hard to define Mass , Time and Length . We cannot have a proper definition of ELECTRIC CHARGE but we can define a system of CHARGES by comparing it with a standard body of charge . There is a mystery here that we don't know what is the exact value that we intend to measure .
DEFINITION
The SI unit of Charge is coulomb abbreviated as C . 1 coulomb of charge is the current flowing in a wire in one second if the electric current in it is 1 amp
The charge on a proton is :
e = 1.602176565(35)×10−19 C
The charge on an electron is the Negative of the above value.
