The SI unit of electric charge is the:

Answer: the coulomb.

  • A the coulomb
  • B the ampere
  • C the volt
  • D the ohm

Correct answer: A. the coulomb

Explanation: Charge is measured in coulombs (C).

Field Lines: Single Charge vs Electric Dipole+isolated +charge: lines radiate outward, all directions+dipole: lines curve from + to − (denser between them)

Field lines always point from positive to negative charge, are denser where the field is stronger, and never cross; an isolated positive charge has lines radiating symmetrically outward, while a dipole's lines curve from the positive to the negative charge.

Concept context

Coulomb's law, electric field, potential, capacitors, Gauss's law.
