Elementary Charge Units Introduction
Coulombs (C) The basic unit of electric charge, representing the amount of charge passing through a conductor's cross-section in one second when the current is 1 ampere. 1 coulomb equals 1 ampere-second. Widely used in electrical and electronic fields.
Millicoulombs (mC) One thousandth of a coulomb, equal to 0.001 coulombs (C). Commonly used to describe smaller amounts of charge, such as in electronic devices and sensors. The applications of millicoulombs include charge measurement in electrolysis processes and charge quantification in certain medical devices. Millicoulombs are also a common unit of charge in many scientific experiments.
Microcoulombs (μC) One millionth of a coulomb, equal to 10⁻⁶ coulombs (C). Commonly used in precision electronics and experimental physics, such as sensors and instruments measuring small amounts of charge. Microcoulombs have important applications in electrostatics, electrochemistry, and high-sensitivity electronic devices. For example, microcoulombs are a common unit of measurement in capacitor research.
Nanocoulombs (nC) One billionth of a coulomb, equal to 10⁻⁹ coulombs (C). Commonly used in nanotechnology and microelectronics to describe very small amounts of charge. For instance, nanocoulombs are a common unit in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoscale electronic components. Additionally, nanocoulombs are used to measure small charges generated by the photoelectric effect in some optoelectronic applications.
Picocoulombs (pC) One trillionth of a coulomb, equal to 10⁻¹² coulombs (C). Typically used to describe very small amounts of charge, such as in high-precision sensors and certain scientific experiments. Picocoulombs are crucial in high-sensitivity charge detectors and some bioelectronics applications. For example, picocoulombs are commonly used when studying charge movements within cells.
