About Microcoulombs per centimetre
The microcoulomb per centimetre (µC/cm) equals exactly 10⁻⁴ C/m, used in electrophoresis and charged-particle beam physics. Charged particle beams in linear accelerators are characterised by bunch charge per unit beam length; a 1 nC electron bunch compressed to 1 mm gives 1 µC/cm = 0.1 mC/m; ion implant beam line charge densities are quoted in µC/cm for process uniformity. 1 µC/cm = 10⁻⁴ C/m = 0.1 mC/m.
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.
