Definition of Coulomb

1. n. The standard unit of quantity in electrical measurements. It is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current produced by an electro-motive force of one volt acting in a circuit having a resistance of one ohm, or the quantity transferred by one ampère in one second. Formerly called weber.

Medical Definition of Coulomb

1. Standard unit of electric charge representing one mole of electrons. A single electron or proton has a charge of (+/-) 1.60217733E-19 coulombs, with an uncertainty of.30 ppm. Hence there are 6.2414E+18 electrons in a coulomb of electrons. (09 Oct 1997)
