What is a picocoulomb?

A picocoulomb is an SI-derived unit of electric charge equal to 10^-12 coulombs, commonly used to measure very small amounts of charge.

Why use faraday based on carbon-12?

Faraday based on carbon-12 is a historical unit linking electric charge to the amount of substance in moles, important in electrochemistry and stoichiometric calculations.

Can I use this converter for everyday charge units?

This tool is best for precise, small-scale electrochemical charge measurements rather than general everyday uses.
