Coulombs (C) and Ampere-hours (Ah) are both units used to measure electric charge, but they are used in different contexts. Coulombs measure the total charge, while Ampere-hours are typically used to measure the capacity of a battery over time.

To convert Coulombs to Ampere-hours, you need to understand the relationship between these units.

Conversion Formula:

To convert Coulombs to Ampere-hours, you can use the following formula:

$$1 \, Ah = 3600 \, C$$

This formula tells you that 1 Ampere-hour (Ah) is equivalent to 3600 Coulombs (C). The factor of 3600 comes from the fact that 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.

Thus, to convert Coulombs to Ampere-hours, use this conversion:

$$\text{Ampere-hours (Ah)} = \frac{\text{Coulombs (C)}}{3600}$$

Example Calculation:

If you have 7200 Coulombs (C) and want to convert it to Ampere-hours (Ah), the calculation would be:

$$\text{Ampere-hours (Ah)} = \frac{7200 \, C}{3600}$$ $$\text{Ampere-hours (Ah)} = 2 \, Ah$$

So, 7200 Coulombs equals 2 Ampere-hours.

Why This Conversion Matters:

This conversion is often used when working with battery capacities, especially in terms of how long a battery can supply a certain amount of current. Batteries are commonly rated in Ampere-hours, so being able to convert Coulombs (a more fundamental unit of charge) to Ampere-hours helps when calculating energy storage or usage.
