In aircraft systems and electrical engineering, “charge” refers to the quantity of electric charge, which is the fundamental property of matter responsible for electrical interactions. Electric charge is a key parameter in understanding and designing electrical systems. Here’s the definition and SI unit for charge in aircraft systems:
Formula: The formula for electric charge (Q) can be derived from current (I) and time (t):
- Electric Charge (Q) is measured in coulombs (C).
- Current (I) is the rate of flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A).
- Time (t) is the duration over which the current flows, measured in seconds (s).
