What does 1 Megacoulomb represent in charge?

1 Megacoulomb represents 10^6 coulombs, measuring electric charge as the amount transported by a current of one ampere in one second.

Why convert from Megacoulomb to ESU of charge?

Conversion helps interpret large SI charge values in the Gaussian CGS system used in theoretical and astrophysical contexts.

Are ESU units compatible with SI units?

No, ESU units are part of the electrostatic Gaussian CGS system and can introduce complexity when combined with SI-based quantities.
