Takeaways

• 😀 Electric charge is represented by the symbol Q.
• 📏 The standard unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C).
• 📊 Charge can be calculated using the formula: total charge = (first charge + second charge) / 2.
• 🔢 Charges can be expressed in various units, including millicoulombs (mC), microcoulombs (μC), nanocoulombs (nC), and picocoulombs (pC).
• 🔄 To convert millicoulombs to coulombs, multiply by 10^-3.
• 🔄 To convert nanocoulombs to coulombs, multiply by 10^-9.
• 🔄 To convert picocoulombs to coulombs, multiply by 10^-12.
• 🔄 To convert microcoulombs to coulombs, multiply by 10^-6.
• 💡 Example conversions include: 3 mC = 3 × 10^-3 C and 12 nC = 12 × 10^-9 C.
• 🎓 Understanding these units and conversions is essential for studying concepts in electrostatics and electrical circuits.
