Coulomb per second is equivalent to ______.
ampere
Coulomb per second is equivalent to the ampere (often shortened to amp).
This is the SI unit used to measure electric current, represented by the symbol A.
By definition, electric current ($I$) is the rate at which electric charge ($Q$) flows past a point.
The mathematical formula representing this relationship is:
$$I = \frac{Q}{t}$$
Therefore, 1 ampere is exactly equal to 1 coulomb of charge moving through a conductor in 1 second.
In practical terms, it measures how many electrons are passing through a wire per unit of time.
