Electrical units

Level 0 (green)- this is basic material that you have probably encountered already, although the approach may be slightly different. No prior knowledge is assumed.

current i   A (ampere) A
charge q q = it C (coulomb) A s
potential V V = U/q V (volt) = J C–1 kg m2 s–3 A–1
electric field E E = F/q V m–1 = N C–1 kg m s–3 A–1
capacitance C C = q/V F (farad) = C V–1 kg–1 m–2 s4 A2
