ElectricCharge Quantity and Units

ElectricCharge is a derived quantity. Definitions are provided in namespace electricCharge. The base quantity defines derived quantity type CoulombClass, and a Variable ElectricCharge, a Constant ElectricChargeConstant, and a VariableVector ElectricChargeVector.

The Dimension of ElectricCharge is $(0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)$ .

ElectricCharge defines the following Units:

Coulomb and prefix variants; the Coulomb is a SI derived unit.

Emu
ProtonCharge

The default unit is Coulomb (C). The default name in the base quantity is `electric charge', and the default symbol is `Q'. The derived quantity does not overwrite these values.
