Converting from Coulomb (C) to Microcoulomb (µC) | Electric charge

What is Coulomb (C)

The Coulomb (C) is the International System of Units (SI) unit of electric charge. It is defined as the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.

What is Microcoulomb (µC)

The Microcoulomb (µC) is a subunit of the Coulomb and is equal to one millionth of a Coulomb. It is commonly used to measure small amounts of electric charge.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Coulombs (C) and Microcoulombs (µC) is straightforward:

• To convert from Coulombs to Microcoulombs: Q(μC)=Q(C)×106

• To convert from Microcoulombs to Coulombs: Q(C)=Q(μC)×10−6

Examples

1. Converting 10 Coulombs to Microcoulombs:

10(C)=10×106=10000000(μC)

2. Converting 13 Coulombs to Microcoulombs:

13(C)=13×106=13000000(μC)

3. Converting 6 Microcoulombs to Coulombs:

6(μC)=6×10−6=0.000006(C)

Use this simple conversion method to switch between Coulombs and Microcoulombs for your electrical charge calculations.
