If I have 5 BTC in my electrum Wallet, how can I test with just a little bit?

For example, in my electrum Wallet I have:
address 1: .002 BTC
address 2: 2 BTC
address 3 3 BTC

Total BTC: 5.002

How can I just test with the .002 BTC     ?
Just export the private key for "address 1" from Electrum and import into a BCC wallet...

Step 1. Goto the addresses tab... if you don't see it: "Wallet -> Addresses"
Step 2. Right click "Address 1" (the one that has 0.002 BTC) and select "Private Key"
Step 3. Input your password when prompted and copy the private key.
Step 4. In ElectronCash, create a new wallet ("File -> New/Restore -> Standard wallet -> Use private/public keys")
Step 5. Paste in the private key and you should see 0.002 BCC in your wallet.

NOTE: you may need to alter the network settings as per this post to get ElectronCash working right: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/6qyn18/electroncash_notice_how_to_select_bitcoincash/
