How to Convert Elementary Charges to Coulombs
To convert from elementary charges (e) to coulombs (C), you multiply the number of elementary charges by 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹. For more information about elementary charges as a unit of measurement, visit our elementary charges page.
Formula
Coulombs = Elementary Charges × 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹
or
C = e × 1.602176634e-19
Examples
- 1 e = 1 × 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
- 10 e = 10 × 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁸ C
- 100 e = 100 × 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁷ C
- 1,000 e = 1,000 × 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁶ C

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an elementary charge (e)?
The elementary charge is the electric charge carried by a single proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of the electric charge of a single electron. It is a fundamental physical constant, approximately 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs.
What is a coulomb (C)?
The coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, defined as the amount of charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
How do I convert coulombs to elementary charges?
To convert from coulombs to elementary charges, you divide the charge in coulombs by 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹. For example, 1 C is equal to 1 / 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 6.241509074 × 10¹⁸ e.
