Microcoulomb vs. Coulomb: What's the Difference?

Microcoulomb and Coulomb Definitions

Microcoulomb

A measure of electrical quantity, the millionth part of one coulomb.

Coulomb

The basic unit of electric charge, equal to the quantity of charge transferred in one second by a steady current of one ampere, and equivalent to 6.2415 × 1018 elementary charges, where one elementary charge is the charge of a proton or the negative of the charge of an electron. A coulomb's value in the International System differs very slightly from that in the meter-kilogram-second-ampere system of units. See Table at measurement.

Microcoulomb

A measure of electrical quantity; the millionth part of one coulomb.

Coulomb

Of or relating to the Coulomb force.

Coulomb

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of electric charge; the amount of electric charge carried by a current of 1 ampere flowing for 1 second. Symbol: C
He is charged up with enough coulombs to make his hair stand on end.

Coulomb

The standard unit of quantity in electrical measurements. It is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current produced by an electro-motive force of one volt acting in a circuit having a resistance of one ohm, or the quantity transferred by one ampère in one second. Formerly called weber.

Coulomb

A unit of electrical charge equal to the amount of charge transferred by a current of 1 ampere in 1 second

Coulomb

French physicist famous for his discoveries in the field of electricity and magnetism; formulated Coulomb's Law (1736-1806)
