Coulombs to Millicoulombs Converter
Conversions:
1 Coulomb (C) = 1000 Millicoulombs (mC)
1 Millicoulomb (mC) = 0.001 Coulombs (C)
Conversion Formula:
Q(mC) = Q(C) × 1000
Q(C) = Q(mC) × 0.001
Example:
Convert 8 coulombs to millicoulombs:
Q(mC) = 8C × 1000 = 8000mC
Conversion Result:
8 coulombs is equal to 8000 millicoulombs.
The Coulombs to Millicoulombs Converter is a tool used to convert electric charge values from Coulombs (C) to Millicoulombs (mC). This conversion is essential in electrical engineering, physics, and electronics, where charge measurements are often required in different units.
Understanding the Units
1. Coulomb (C)
The Coulomb (C) is the SI unit of electric charge.
It is defined as the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere (A) in one second (s):
Used in large-scale electrical calculations.
2. Millicoulomb (mC)
The Millicoulomb (mC) is a subunit of the Coulomb.
It is equal to one-thousandth of a Coulomb:
Commonly used for smaller charge measurements in electronics and lab experiments.
Conversion Formula
The conversion between Coulombs (C) and Millicoulombs (mC) is straightforward:
Example Conversions
Coulombs (C) | Millicoulombs (mC) |
---|---|
1 C | 1000 mC |
0.5 C | 500 mC |
0.01 C | 10 mC |
0.001 C | 1 mC |
2.5 C | 2500 mC |
