What is a millicoulomb?

A millicoulomb is a unit of electric charge equal to 0.001 coulombs, commonly used for moderate charge quantities smaller than a coulomb.

Why is the faraday based on carbon-12?

The faraday unit is historically linked to the mole defined by carbon-12, representing charge carried by one mole of electrons in electrochemical contexts.

When should I use this conversion?

Use this conversion when relating electric charge to chemical amounts in laboratory electrochemical and stoichiometric calculations.
