Microcoulomb Converters

Convert microcoulombs to coulombs, millicoulombs, nanocoulombs, picocoulombs, abcoulombs, and statcoulombs.

What this tool does

Convert microcoulombs to coulombs, millicoulombs, nanocoulombs, picocoulombs, abcoulombs, and statcoulombs. Type an amount in microcoulombs, choose the units, and the tool converts it to coulombs. It offers 7 electric charge units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Microcoulomb, Coulomb, Millicoulomb, Nanocoulomb, Picocoulomb, Abcoulomb (EMU of charge), Statcoulomb (franklin, ESU of charge). Starts as Microcoulomb.
  • To: Choose one of the same 7 units as "From". Starts as Coulomb.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from microcoulombs to coulombs:

  • 1 µC = 0.000001 C
  • 5 µC = 0.000005 C
  • 10 µC = 0.00001 C
  • 50 µC = 0.00005 C
  • 100 µC = 0.0001 C

Multiply the number of microcoulombs by 0.000001 to get coulombs. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.000001 is the exact factor: 1 µC = 0.000001 C.

Limitations

  • Converts units of electric charge only. It does not turn charge into energy, because that also needs a voltage.
  • Abcoulomb and statcoulomb are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How many coulombs is one microcoulomb?
A: One microcoulomb is 0.000001 coulomb (one millionth of a coulomb).
Q: How many nanocoulombs are in a microcoulomb?
A: There are 1000 nanocoulombs in one microcoulomb.
Q: What is a statcoulomb?
A: A statcoulomb (also called a franklin) is the unit of charge in the CGS electrostatic system. One statcoulomb is about 3.3356 × 10⁻¹⁰ coulomb.
