Conversion Formula

pC/m = C/in × 39370078740000

About Coulombs per inch

The coulomb per inch (C/in) equals exactly 1/0.0254 C/m ≈ 39.370 C/m, used in insulation specifications and dielectric withstand testing at the component level. Dielectric tape and insulating sleeve charge retention is sometimes expressed in C/in in US industry datasheets; PCB creepage and clearance charge density specifications for high-voltage designs appear in C/in. 1 C/in = 1/0.0254 C/m ≈ 39.370 C/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.
