1. What is Coulomb Per Second?

Coulomb per second (C/s) is a unit of electric current, equivalent to one ampere. This calculator determines the coulombs per second based on force, distance, Coulomb's constant, and a second charge value.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula derived from Coulomb's law:

\[ \text{Coulombs per Second} = \frac{\text{Force} \times \text{Distance}^2}{k \times \text{Charge2}} \]

Where:

\( \text{Force} \) — Force in Newtons (N)
\( \text{Distance} \) — Distance in meters (m)
\( k \) — Coulomb's constant (8.99×10^9 N·m²/C²)
\( \text{Charge2} \) — Second charge in Coulombs (C)

Explanation: This formula calculates the rate of charge flow (current) based on the electrostatic force between two charges separated by a distance.

3. Importance of Coulomb Per Second Calculation

Details: Calculating coulombs per second is essential for understanding electric current in various electrical systems and applications involving electrostatic forces.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter force in Newtons, distance in meters, Coulomb's constant (default is 8.99×10^9), and the second charge in Coulombs. All values must be positive.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the relationship between coulombs per second and amperes?
A: One coulomb per second is equal to one ampere, which is the standard unit of electric current.

Q2: Why is Coulomb's constant important in this calculation?
A: Coulomb's constant (k) relates the electrostatic force between two charges to their magnitudes and the distance between them.

Q3: Can this formula be used for any type of charge?
A: Yes, the formula applies to both positive and negative charges, as the calculation depends on the magnitude of the charges.

Q4: What are typical values for the inputs?
A: Force values can range from microNewtons to Newtons, distances from nanometers to meters, and charges from nanocoulombs to coulombs.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise based on the inputs, but real-world factors like medium permittivity may affect actual results.
