Preferred term

planckchargePlanck Charge  

Definition

  • In physics, the Planck charge, denoted by, is one of the base units in the system of natural units called Planck units. It is a quantity of electric charge defined in terms of fundamental physical constants. The Planck charge is defined as: coulombs, where: is the speed of light in the vacuum, is Planck's constant, is the reduced Planck constant, is the permittivity of free space is the elementary charge = (137.03599911) is the fine structure constant. The Planck charge is times greater than the elementary charge $e$ carried by an electron.
