Coulombs to Microcoulombs Converter

Enter charge in coulombs:

Conversions:

1 Coulomb (C) = 1 × 10⁶ Microcoulombs (μC)

1 Microcoulomb (μC) = 1 × 10^-6 Coulombs (C)

Conversion Formula:

Q(μC) = Q(C) × 10⁶

Q(C) = Q(μC) × 10^-6

Example:

Convert 3 coulombs to microcoulombs:

Q(μC) = 8C × 10⁶ = 8 × 10⁶μC

Conversion Result:

8 coulombs is equal to 8 × 10⁶ microcoulombs.

Definition and Purpose

A Coulombs to Nanocoulombs converter is a specialized tool that transforms electric charge measurements between the base SI unit (Coulombs) and its subunit (Nanocoulombs). This conversion is particularly valuable in:

• Precision electronics where small charge measurements are critical

• Scientific research involving electrostatic phenomena

• Engineering applications requiring nanoscale charge quantification

Conversion Fundamentals

Unit Relationships

Unit	Symbol	Equivalent in Coulombs
Coulomb	C	1 C
Nanocoulomb	nC	10⁻⁹ C

Conversion Formulas

1. C to nC:
   nC = C × 1,000,000,000
   (Multiply by 10⁹)

2. nC to C:
   C = nC ÷ 1,000,000,000
   (Divide by 10⁹ or multiply by 10⁻⁹)

Practical Conversion Table

Coulombs (C)	Nanocoulombs (nC)
