* Coulomb (C) is a measure of electric charge. It quantifies the amount of electrical charge held by a body. One coulomb is a very large amount of charge (approximately 6.24 x 1018 electrons).
* Ampere (A) is a measure of electric current. It quantifies the rate at which electric charge flows past a given point. One ampere is defined as one coulomb of charge passing a point in one second.
In simpler terms:
* Coulomb: Think of it like a bucket holding a certain amount of water (electric charge).
* Ampere: Imagine the rate at which you pour water out of the bucket (electric current).
Relationship:
The relationship between coulombs and amperes is directly proportional. A higher current (amperes) means a greater amount of charge (coulombs) flowing per unit of time.
