Coulomb
The standard unit of quantity in electrical measurements It is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current produced by an electro motive force of one volt acting in a circuit having a resistance of one ohm or the quantity transferred by one ampegravere in one second Formerly called weber...
Coulombs law
The law that the force exerted between two electric or magnetic charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely to the square of the distance between them...
Electricity
a property of certain of the fundamental particles of which matter is composed called also electric charge and being of two types designated positive and negative the property of electric charge on a particle or physical body creates a force field which affects other particles or bodies possessing electric charge positive charges create a repulsive force between them and negative charges also create a repulsive force A positively charged body and a negatively charged body will create an attractive force between them The unit of electrical charge is the coulomb and the intensity of the force field at any point is measured in volts...
Farad
The standard unit of electrical capacity the capacity of a condenser whose charge having an electro motive force of one volt is equal to the amount of electricity which with the same electromotive force passes through one ohm in one second the capacity which charged with one coulomb gives an electro motive force of one volt...
