Millicoulomb

mC

Definition

Millicoulomb is a metric unit of electric charge equal to one thousandth of a coulomb. It represents a small but measurable amount of electric charge.

History/Origin

Millicoulomb is derived from the SI prefix "milli-" meaning one thousandth, combined with the coulomb unit. It was introduced to provide convenient units for small charge measurements.

Current Use

Used in electronics for measuring small capacitor charges, static electricity, and precision electrical measurements in laboratory settings.
