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.
Elementary Charge (e)
The elementary charge (e) is exactly 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹ coulombs—the electric charge of a single proton or the magnitude of an electron's charge. This fundamental physical constant defines the quantization of electric charge. One coulomb equals 6.242×10¹⁸ elementary charges.
