To convert a measurement in coulombs to a measurement in microcoulombs, multiply the electric charge by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000 microcoulombs/coulomb.

Since one coulomb is equal to 1,000,000 microcoulombs, you can use this simple formula to convert:

microcoulombs = coulombs × 1,000,000

The electric charge in microcoulombs is equal to the electric charge in coulombs multiplied by 1,000,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5 coulombs to microcoulombs using the formula above.
microcoulombs = (5 C × 1,000,000) = 5,000,000 μC

How Many Microcoulombs Are in a Coulomb?

There are 1,000,000 microcoulombs in a coulomb, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 C = 1,000,000 μC

Coulombs and microcoulombs are both units used to measure electric charge. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Coulomb?

One coulomb is the electric charge equal to one ampere of current over one second.[1]

The coulomb can be expressed as QC = IA × ts

The charge in coulombs is equal to the current in amperes times the time in seconds.

The coulomb is the SI derived unit for electric charge in the metric system. Coulombs can be abbreviated as C; for example, 1 coulomb can be written as 1 C.

What Is a Microcoulomb?

The microcoulomb is 1/1,000,000 of a coulomb, which is the electric charge equal to one ampere of current over one second.

The microcoulomb is a multiple of the coulomb, which is the SI derived unit for electric charge. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for millionths, or 10-6. Microcoulombs can be abbreviated as μC; for example, 1 microcoulomb can be written as 1 μC.
