What is the dimensional formula for charge how is it found?

We know that,

Electric current is the rate of flow of charge.


Hence, Charge = Current × Time


Now, [ ] denote dimension


Charge = q


Current = I


Time = T


So, [Charge] = [Current] × [Time] =


=


So, dimensional formula of current is
