Nanocoulombs and coulombs are units of electric charge used to measure the amount of electric charge carried by particles or objects.
The coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge. One coulomb is defined as the amount of electric charge that passes through a conductor in one second when a current of one ampere (1 A) flows through it. In other words, it’s the basic unit of charge in the International System of Units (SI).
The nanocoulomb is a subunit of the coulomb, and it’s equal to one billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a coulomb. It’s often used to measure small amounts of electric charge, especially in situations where the full coulomb would be too large a unit.
1C = 109nC
or
1nC = 10-9C
Q(C) = Q(nC) / 109
Example – Convert 3 nanocoulombs to coulombs:
Ans. Q(C) = 3nC / 109 = 3⋅10-9C
| Charge (nanocoulomb) | Charge (coulomb) |
| 0 nC | 0 C |
| 1 nC | 10-9 C |
| 10 nC | 10-8 C |
| 100 nC | 10-7 C |
| 1000 nC | 10-6 C |
| 10000 nC | 10-5 C |
| 100000 nC | 10-4 C |
| 1000000 nC | 10-3 C |
| 10000000 nC | 10-2 C |
| 100000000 nC | 10-1 C |
| 1000000000 nC | 1 C |
To convert from nanocoulombs (nC) to coulombs (C), divide the value in nanocoulombs by 1 billion (10^9).
1 nanocoulomb (1 nC) is equal to 1 × 10^-9 coulombs (1 × 10^-9 C).
50 nanocoulombs (50 nC) is equivalent to 5 × 10^-8 coulombs (5 × 10^-8 C).
Nanocoulomb (nC) is equivalent to 10^-9 coulombs (C).
Converting nanocoulombs (nC) to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is not a valid conversion. Nanocoulombs are units of electric charge, while CSV is a format used to represent data in a spreadsheet.
1 microcoulomb (1 µC) is equal to 1 × 10^-6 coulombs (1 × 10^-6 C).
The notation UC is not a standard unit of electric charge. Please provide more context or use the proper units like coulombs (C) or its subunits.
1 unit of coulomb (1 C) is the amount of electric charge carried by a current of 1 ampere (1 A) flowing for 1 second (1 s). It is a fundamental SI unit for electric charge.
