==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Microcoulombs''' ('''µC''') are a [[unit]] of [[Electrical Charge|charge]] 1,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Coulomb]].
===About Microcoulombs===
: '''Microcoulombs''' are shortened to '''µC''' with the Greek letter µ and an upper case C.
: [[Micro]] means one millionth so there are 1,000,000 [[microcoulomb]]s in a [[Coulomb]].
