Orders of magnitude (charge)

Orders of magnitude in the context of electric charge refers to the way we categorize the scale or size of electric charge values, usually in powers of ten. This system allows us to compare vastly different quantities of charge by using logarithmic scales. Electric charge is measured in coulombs (C), and common charges include the elementary charge (the charge of a single proton or the negative charge of an electron), which is approximately \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) coulombs.
