coulomb /cou·lomb/ (C) (koo´lom) the SI unit of electric charge, defined as the quantity of electric charge transferred across a surface by 1 ampere in 1 second.
coulomb (C) [ko̅o̅′lōm] Etymology: Charles A. de Coulomb, French physicist, 1736-1806 the SI unit of electricity equal to the quantity of charge transferred in 1 second across a conductor in which there is a constant current of 1 ampere, or 1 ampere-second. coulomb 1. the unit of electrical charge, defined as the quantity of electrical charge transferred by 1 ampere in 1 second. Symbol C. 2. the SI unit of exposure to radiation. 1 coulomb per kilogram = 3876 roentgen; abbreviated C/kg. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| De Breze's entrails were buried at Anet, his heart at the Abbey of Coulombs, near his father, and his body in the Chapel of the Virgin at Rouen. Because total pulse charge multiplied by pulse frequency equals total current (in coulombs per second), the potential exists for the 25-SP and AM waveforms to reach total current levels, which may result in an adverse skin reaction, particularly when used with very small electrodes. |
