Picocoulombs to Coulombs Converter

Enter charge in picocoulombs:

Conversion:

1 Coulomb (C) = 10¹² Picocoulombs (pC)

1 Picocoulomb (pC) = 10^-12 Coulombs (C)

Conversion Formula:

Q(pC) = Q(C) × 10¹²

Example:

Convert 3 coulombs to picocoulombs:

Q(pC) = 3C × 10¹² = 3 × 10¹²pC

Conversion Result:

3 coulombs is equal to 3 × 10¹² picocoulombs.

The Picocoulombs (pC) to Coulombs (C) Converter is a specialized tool for converting between extremely small electric charge measurements (picocoulombs) and the standard SI unit (coulombs). This conversion is essential in:

• Nanotechnology research

• Semiconductor physics

• Particle physics experiments

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) measurements

Understanding the Units

1. Coulomb (C)

• The SI base unit of electric charge

• Defined as the charge transported by a 1 Ampere (A) current in 1 second (s)

• Standard unit for most electrical calculations

2. Picocoulomb (pC)

• A submultiple of the coulomb (metric prefix "pico" = 10⁻¹²)

• $$1\text{ pC}={10}^{-12}\text{ C}=0.000000000001\text{ C}$$

• Used for measuring:

  • Charge in MEMS devices

  • Single electron transistors

  • Electrostatic phenomena in microelectronics
