==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Nanocoulombs''' ('''nC''') are a [[unit]] of [[Electrical Charge|charge]] 1,000,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Coulomb]].
===About Microcoulombs===
: '''Nanocoulombs''' are shortened to '''nC''' with a lower case n and an upper case C.
: [[Nano]] means one billionth so there are 1,000,000,000 [[nanocoulomb]]s in a [[Coulomb]].
