Enter the number of electrons and the charge of one electron into the calculator to determine the total electric charge in Coulombs. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Electrons To Coulombs Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the total electric charge in Coulombs from the number of electrons.

C = e * q

Variables:

  • C is the total electric charge in Coulombs (C)
  • e is the number of electrons
  • q is the charge of one electron in Coulombs (C), approximately -1.602 x 10^-19

To calculate the total electric charge in Coulombs, multiply the number of electrons by the charge of one electron.

What is Electrons To Coulombs?

Electrons to Coulombs is a conversion factor that is used to convert the quantity of electrons into the unit of electric charge, which is Coulombs. This is based on the principle that each electron carries a certain amount of electric charge. The charge of one electron is approximately -1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs. Therefore, by multiplying the number of electrons by this charge, we can determine the total electric charge in Coulombs.

How to Calculate Electrons To Coulombs?

The following steps outline how to calculate the total electric charge in Coulombs (C) using the formula C = e * q.


  1. First, determine the number of electrons (e).
  2. Next, determine the charge of one electron (q) in Coulombs (C).
  3. Next, use the formula C = e * q to calculate the total electric charge in Coulombs (C).
  4. Finally, calculate the result.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
