Coulomb
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a circuit, charges (electrons) flow.
|
||
|
|
This amount of charge is extremely huge.
|
||
|
|
The *Coulomb* unit allows to count them more easily.
|
||
|
|
Thus, :math:`1C \approx 6.241e^{18}` charges (electrons in our case).

Newton
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
It is a unit of force.
|
||
|
|
It is indirectly used in electronics (see Joule).
|
||
|
|
One Newton is the force required to accelerate :math:`1Kg` of mass, at a rate of
|
||
|
|
:math:`1m.s^{-1}` every seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. math::
|

|
|
[N]=kg.m.s^{-2}
