About Gigacoulombs
The gigacoulomb (GC) equals 10⁹ C ≈ 277 778 Ah, representing charge at the scale of global atmospheric electricity or very large-scale industrial electrolysis installations. Earth's global electric circuit maintains an atmospheric charge of the order of a few GC; a 1 GW·h grid-scale energy storage facility holds of order 1-10 GC depending on voltage. 1 GC = 10⁻³ TC = 10³ MC.
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.
