What are Franklin and Millicoulomb

Definition of Franklin

The Franklin, symbolized as Fr, is a non-SI unit of electric charge. Named after Benjamin Franklin, it measures electric charge in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) electrostatic system. One Franklin is equivalent to approximately 3.33564 × 10⁻¹⁰ coulombs. Although not widely used in modern scientific applications, the Franklin remains a significant unit in historical and theoretical contexts. It provides a basis for electrostatic calculations and serves as a pedagogical tool in understanding the evolution of electrical measurement systems. Despite its limited contemporary use, the Franklin's legacy endures in the study of electrostatics.

Definition of Millicoulomb

The Millicoulomb, abbreviated as mC, is a derived unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It represents one-thousandth of a coulomb, making it a practical measure for smaller quantities of electric charge. The millicoulomb is widely used in various scientific and engineering disciplines to quantify electric charge, particularly in fields like electronics, physics, and chemistry. It allows for precise calculations and measurements in scenarios where larger units like the coulomb would be cumbersome. The millicoulomb's utility and precision make it an essential unit in modern scientific applications.
