About Picocoulombs
The picocoulomb (pC) equals 10⁻¹² C, the standard charge unit for radiation detector pulse heights and precision electrometers. Charge signals from Geiger-Muller tubes, scintillator detectors, and proportional counters are routinely expressed in picocoulombs; a 1 pF capacitor at 1 V holds exactly 1 pC. 1 pC = 10⁻³ nC = 10³ fC.
About Elementary charge
The elementary charge (e) is the magnitude of charge on a single proton or electron, defined exactly as 1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C in the 2019 SI revision. It is the quantum of electric charge - the smallest freely occurring charge in nature - and underpins all atomic and subatomic physics. A current of 1 A corresponds to 6.241 509 × 10¹⁸ elementary charges flowing per second.
