Electrical Charge Calculator
Calculate electrical charge transferred by a constant current over a specified duration.
How to use this calculator
- Enter signed current in amperes and duration in seconds.
- Check the labels and units before using a result outside this page.
- Change one input at a time if you want to compare scenarios.
Formula and method
Q = It
- Q = It
- For changing current, charge is the integral of current over time; a single constant value will not represent that profile.
Worked examples
Worked example
A current of 0.5 A flows for 60 seconds.
Q = 0.5 × 60 = 30 coulombs.
Q = 0.5 × 60 = 30 coulombs.
