Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an ampere-hour?
-
An ampere-hour (A·h) is a unit of electric charge representing a steady current of one ampere flowing for one hour, equal to 3600 coulombs.
-
What does millicoulomb measure?
-
A millicoulomb (mC) is a unit of electric charge equal to one thousandth of a coulomb, used for quantifying smaller amounts of charge transferred or stored in electrical systems.
-
Why convert ampere-hours to millicoulombs?
-
Converting from ampere-hours to millicoulombs helps express battery charge capacities in finer units relevant for electronics testing, medical devices, and laboratory measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Ampere-hour [A*h]
-
A unit of electric charge defined as a steady current of one ampere flowing for one hour, equal to 3600 coulombs.
-
Millicoulomb [mC]
-
A unit of electric charge equal to one thousandth of a coulomb, used for measuring relatively small charge amounts.
