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 the reduced Planck constant, : is the permittivity of free space : is the elementary charge : is the fine structure constant. The Planck charge is times larger than the elementary charge ''e'' carried by an electron. The Gaussian cgs units are defined so that , in which case has the following simple form: : It is customary in theoretical physics to adopt the Lorentz–Heaviside units (also known as rationalized cgs). When made natural () they are like the SI system with . Therefore it is more appropriate to define the Planck charge as : coulombs, When charges are measured in units of , i.e., when is set equal to 1, we obtain , which is commonly used in theoretical physics. In contrast, in (non-rationalized) natural cgs units where we have . ==See also== *Orders of magnitude (charge) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Planck charge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
