Solution

Charge on an electron is $1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$ which is equal to $0.00000000000000000016 C$ .
A coulomb of charge is given by $1 C$ .
$0.00000000000000000016 C$ is very less compared to the $1 C$ .
About $6 \times 10^{18}$ electrons together makes $1 C$ .
Final answer:
A coulomb of charge is greater than the charge on an electron.
