What is a megacoulomb (MC)?

A megacoulomb is an SI unit of electric charge equal to one million coulombs, which measures charge transported by one ampere in one second.

What does EMU of charge represent?

EMU of charge is a CGS-EMU unit of charge equal to the charge carried by one abampere in one second, corresponding to 10 coulombs in SI units.

Why convert megacoulombs to EMU of charge?

Converting helps translate large SI charge values into CGS-EMU units for comparison with historical data, theoretical work, and to maintain consistency when analyzing classical electromagnetic phenomena.
