Welcome to the Dauntless Aviation Glossary!
At Dauntless, our editorial staff maintains the web's largest unified glossary of aviation terms. This glossary is built from a combination of official, quasi-official,
and proprietary sources (including original material that we develop oursselves). Uniquely, we often provide multiple definitions of a given term so that you can find that which best applies
to you. In order to maximize your learning efficiency, this glossary (and similar ones for our international users) is incresingly fully integrated into our aviation learning apps, including
our FAA written test prep and FAA practical test prep software and apps. If you like this glossary,
you'll love them with their polished learning environments and world's best and clearest content (please do give them a try.).

Coulomb
Coulomb | | Coulomb (abbreviated C) is the standard measure of electrical charge. Named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it is the amount of charge accumulated on a one-farad capacitor charged to one volt; or the amount of charge transported by a one ampere current in one second. | source: Electrical Engineering Glossary |
| | A measure of electrical output. One coulomb is 6.24 × 1018 electrons. | source: FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician General Handbook (FAA-H-8083-30) |
| | The coulomb (named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, unit symbol: C) is a fundamental unit of electrical charge, and is the SI derived unit of electric charge (symbol: Q or q). It is equal in magnitude (absolute value) to the charge of approximately 6.241×1018 electrons, but has the opposite sign. Its SI definition is the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second. One coulomb is also the amount of excess charge on a capacitor of one farad charged to a potential difference of one volt. | source: Wikitionary / Wikipedia and Related Sources (Edited) |
