Conversion Formula

pC/m = C/cm × 100000000000000

About Coulombs per centimetre

The coulomb per centimetre (C/cm) equals exactly 100 C/m, used in high-energy particle physics and pulsed-power engineering. Particle accelerator beam current densities along the beam axis are quoted in C/cm for high-intensity bunches; pulsed lightning-simulator spark channels carry several C/cm at peak current; field-emission cathode models describe space-charge limited current in C/cm. 1 C/cm = 100 C/m = 10⁻² kC/m.

About Picocoulombs per metre

The picocoulomb per metre (pC/m) equals 10⁻¹² C/m, the scale for charge induced on carbon nanotubes by gate electrodes and for lightly charged polymer chains. A metallic single-wall carbon nanotube at a gate bias of a few volts carries about 10-100 pC/m; weakly charged polyelectrolytes in high-salt solution have effective linear charge densities of 1-100 pC/m after ion condensation. 1 pC/m = 10⁻¹² C/m = 10⁻³ nC/m.
