How to Convert Picocoulombs to Abcoulombs
The picocoulomb and abcoulomb are both units of electric charge. By definition, 1 abcoulomb equals exactly 1e13 picocoulombs. This means to convert picocoulombs to abcoulombs, you divide by 1e13.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pC to abcoulombs:
We need to convert picocoulombs to abcoulombs
Since 1 abC = 1e13 pC, divide by 1e13
5 ÷ 1e13 = 5e-13
5 pC = 5e-13 abC

About These Units
Picocoulomb (pC)
A picocoulomb (pC) equals 10⁻¹² coulombs. Used in radiation detectors (scintillators produce ~1 pC per gamma ray), piezoelectric accelerometers, and charge-sensitive amplifiers. Typical photodiode currents generate picocoulombs per pulse.
Abcoulomb (abC)
An abcoulomb (abC) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of charge equal to exactly 10 coulombs. Defined as the charge that exerts a force of 2 dynes on an equal charge 1 cm away. Also called the electromagnetic unit (EMU) of charge. Rarely used today.
