Full name: millicoulomb
Plural form: millicoulombs
Symbol: mC
Category type: electric charge
Scale factor: 0.001
The SI derived unit for electric charge is the coulomb.
1 coulomb is equal to 1000 mC.
Valid units must be of the electric charge type.
You can use this form to select from known units:
The SI prefix "milli" represents a factor of 10-3, or in exponential notation, 1E-3.
So 1 millicoulomb = 10-3 coulombs.
The definition of a coulomb is as follows:
he coulomb, symbol C, is the SI unit of electric charge, and is defined in terms of the ampere: 1 coulomb is the amount of electric charge (quantity of electricity) carried by a current of 1 ampere flowing for 1 second. It is also about 6.241506×1018 times the charge of an electron. It is named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736-1806).
