Convert Coulombs to Microcoulombs

Convert Coulombs (C) to Microcoulombs (µC) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

µC = C × 1000000

About Coulombs

The coulomb (C) is the SI derived unit of electric charge, equal to the charge transported by a current of 1 A in 1 s. In the 2019 SI revision it is fixed exactly via the elementary charge: 1 C = 1 / (1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹) e ≈ 6.241 × 10¹⁸ e. Practical benchmarks: a 1 Ah battery stores 3 600 C; a lightning bolt transfers 1-20 C.

About Microcoulombs

The microcoulomb (µC) equals 10⁻⁶ C, used for moderate capacitors, piezoelectric charge outputs, and laboratory electrostatics. A 1 µF capacitor at 1 V holds exactly 1 µC; piezoelectric accelerometers generate charge signals in the microcoulomb range under mechanical loading. 1 µC = 10⁻³ mC = 10³ nC.
