Understanding the Units
* Ampere (A): A measure of electrical current, representing the flow of one coulomb of charge per second.
* Hour (h): A unit of time.
* Coulomb (C): The SI unit of electric charge.
The Conversion
1 ampere-hour (Ah) is equal to 3600 coulombs (C).
Here's why:
* 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/second
* 1 Hour = 3600 seconds
Therefore:
1 Ah = 1 A * 1 h = (1 C/s) * (3600 s) = 3600 C
Example:
If you have a battery rated at 10 Ah, it can deliver 10 * 3600 = 36,000 coulombs of charge.
