Coulombs to Nanocoulombs Conversion

This tool turns a charge expressed in coulombs into the same charge expressed in nanocoulombs. Type the value, press Convert, then copy the answer or clear it and start again.

About the coulomb and the nanocoulomb

Electric charge can be measured in coulombs (C) or in nanocoulombs (nC). The nanocoulomb is the smaller of the two: 1 C = 1000000000 nC, and read the other way around, 1 nC = 0.000000001 C.

Since you are moving from a larger unit to a much smaller one, the number grows by nine zeros when coulombs are rewritten as nanocoulombs. Enter the charge in coulombs here, press Convert, and the matching figure in nanocoulombs is shown as the result.

Coulombs to nanocoulombs formula

The charge in nanocoulombs Q(nC) equals the charge in coulombs Q(C) multiplied by 1000000000: Q(nC) = Q(C) × 1000000000.

For instance, converting 3 coulombs works out as Q(nC) = 3 C × 1000000000 = 3000000000 nC.
