The SI unit of mass is the kilogram. What is the SI unit of charge?
SI unit of charge.
Answer to Problem 12A
The SI unit of charge is Coulomb.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The base units which can be defined as International System of Units are the standard units for measurement of various quantities. The SI unit of mass is kilogram.
The SI unit of electric charge is Coulomb. One Coulomb is defined as the transfer of charge by current of one Ampere in one second. One Coulomb charge is equal to one Ampere second.
Conclusion:
Thus, the SI unit of charge is Coulomb.
