About Elementary charge

The elementary charge (e) is the magnitude of charge on a single proton or electron, defined exactly as 1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C in the 2019 SI revision. It is the quantum of electric charge - the smallest freely occurring charge in nature - and underpins all atomic and subatomic physics. A current of 1 A corresponds to 6.241 509 × 10¹⁸ elementary charges flowing per second.

About Nanocoulombs

The nanocoulomb (nC) equals 10⁻⁹ C, the typical charge scale for capacitive sensors, electrostatic discharge events, and biological ion transport measurements. A 100 pF capacitor charged to 10 V stores 1 nC; ESD sparks from contact charging can transfer 10-500 nC. 1 nC = 10⁻³ µC = 10³ pC.
