What is another word for coulomb?

Pronunciation: [kˈuːlɒm] (IPA)

The word "coulomb" is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of electric charge in a system. However, there are various synonyms available for this term. For instance, "ampere-second" is a synonym for the coulomb as it represents the charge transferred by one ampere of current flowing for one second. Moreover, "electron charge" is also a synonym as it represents the charge of a single electron, which is 1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs. Additionally, "faraday" is another synonym that represents the amount of electric charge carried by one mole of electrons. Finally, "statcoulomb" is another unit of measurement that is used to represent electric charge in an electrostatic system and is another synonym for the coulomb.
