==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Kilocoulombs''' ('''kC''') are a [[unit]] of [[Electrical Charge|charge]] 1,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Coulomb]].
===About Kilocoulombs===
: '''Kilocoulombs''' are shortened to '''kC''' with a lower case k and an upper case C.
: [[Kilo]] means one thousand so there are 1,000 [[Coulomb]]s in a [[kilocoulomb]].
===Converting to Kilocoulombs===
