Is one Amp, the same as one coulomb?

As electromagnetic of a high voltage, and high amperage.
what is the magnetic field equal too?

I want to provide the actual magnetic field of the earth, then compare it to the data of the magnetic field in the wikipedia.

here are the measurements.

A 360,000 volt, applied with a coulomb/amp? of 96,500

Or is it 96,500 amps with a peak potential of 360,000 volts?

with a capacitance of .25 farads (farads = coulombs/volts)

Do i need to add the size of the earth also, for the mass of the core, in the magnet?

Nope, this is why so huge difference in their names exists... wink.gif

One coulomb is 1 amp x 1 second. 1 coul. = 1 amp.sec. A coulomb is the quantity of charge transported by one amp for one second. Two coulombs would be one amp[ for two seconds or two amps for one second, etc.

Coulomb is a quantity of charge

Amp is a rate of charge.
