Electric Charge in aircraft design refers to a fundamental property of matter associated with the presence of elementary charged particles, such as electrons and protons. Electric charge is quantified in coulombs (C), which is the SI unit for electric charge. It plays a crucial role in aviation and aircraft design, particularly in electrical systems. The formula for electric charge and its SI unit are as follows:
Electric Charge Formula: The formula for calculating electric charge (Q) is based on the number of elementary charged particles (n) and the elementary charge (e):
- Q: Electric Charge, measured in coulombs (C).
- n: Number of Charged Particles (typically electrons or protons).
- e: Elementary Charge, measured in coulombs (C).
