About the units
- Coulomb
- The SI unit of charge: the charge carried by a current of one ampere in one second, so 1 C = 1 A·s.
- Elementary charge
- The magnitude of the charge on one proton, or one electron with a negative sign, exactly 1.602176634 × 10^-19 C since the 2019 SI definition.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many elementary charges are in one coulomb?
1 C = 6.24151e+18 e exactly.
How do I convert coulombs to elementary charges?
Use e = C × 6.241509074e+18. For example, 25 C = 1.56038e+20 e.
How many coulombs are in one elementary charge?
1 e = 1.60218e-19 C.
How do I convert battery mAh to watt-hours?
You need the battery voltage: Wh equals mAh times volts divided by 1000. A 5000 mAh battery at 3.7 V holds 18.5 Wh.
How many coulombs are in an ampere-hour?
Exactly 3600 coulombs, because an ampere-hour is one ampere flowing for 3600 seconds.
