About Kilocoulombs per metre
The kilocoulomb per metre (kC/m) equals 10³ C/m, identical in value to the abcoulomb per centimetre (CGS-EMU). At this scale, charge densities appear in pulsed-power transmission lines, railgun barrel charge distribution models, and theoretical descriptions of dense plasma filaments. Large capacitor banks discharged through thin conductors deposit kC/m-scale charge before ablation. 1 kC/m = 10³ C/m = 1 abC/cm.
About Nanocoulombs per metre
The nanocoulomb per metre (nC/m) equals 10⁻⁹ C/m, the scale for DNA backbone charge density and strongly gated carbon nanotube charge. B-form DNA carries approximately -2 elementary charges per 0.34 nm base pair spacing, giving an intrinsic linear charge density of about -0.94 nC/m; strongly biased nanotube transistors reach several nC/m. 1 nC/m = 10⁻⁹ C/m = 10⁻³ µC/m.
