Microcoulombs to Coulombs Converter

Enter charge in microcoulombs:

Conversion:

1 Coulomb (C) = 1000000 Microcoulombs (μC)

1 Microcoulomb (μC) = 0.000001 Coulombs (C)

Conversion Formula:

Q(C) = Q(μC) / 1000000

Example:

Convert 3 microcoulombs to coulombs:

Q(C) = 3μC / 1000000 = 0.000003C

Conversion Result:

3 microcoulombs is equal to 0.000003 coulombs.
