What is the basic conversion rate from picocoulomb to coulomb?

One picocoulomb equals one times ten to the negative twelve coulombs (1 pC = 1×10⁻¹² C).

Why convert picocoulombs to coulombs?

Converting to coulombs allows integrating very small charge measurements into standard SI unit calculations used in electronics and electrochemistry.

Can this tool be used for large charge values?

The tool is mainly designed for very small charge amounts measured in picocoulombs; for larger charges, direct coulomb values are typically used.
