I can't understand why is 1 Coulomb = 1A*1s and not 1A/s

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-09] [Hit: ]
or conversely 1 coulomb is 1 amp sec-The Amp (A) is a measure of the rate of flow of charges in a circuit. More electrons per second = more amps.Charge measured in coulombs represents the TOTAL amount of electrons which have travelled through the circuit in a specified time. Therefore it will be (#electrons each second) multiplied by (number of seconds).Its like if you have a value x which is say, the number of people each second travelling through a door,......
i can understand in maths but i can't understand logically in physics, maybe there's someone who can explain why ist this so and not 1A/s?

1 Coulomb is 6.24 x 10^18 electrons. An ampere is defined as the rate of 1 Coulomb of electrons per second through a cross section area. So 1 amp = 1 coulomb/ sec, or conversely 1 coulomb is 1 amp sec

The Amp (A) is a measure of the rate of flow of charges in a circuit. More electrons per second = more amps.

Charge measured in coulombs represents the TOTAL amount of electrons which have travelled through the circuit in a specified time. Therefore it will be (#electrons each second) multiplied by (number of seconds). Thus Q = It

Its like if you have a value x which is say, the number of people each second travelling through a door, and y is the number of seconds the door is open, the total number of people who are now in the room is x multpilied by y. NOT x divided by y.

Hope that helps :D

It is not clear by the slash whether you mean 1A "per" second, or 1A "divided by" (assuming 1) second, which would be nonsensical.
