About Microcoulombs per metre
The microcoulomb per metre (µC/m) equals 10⁻⁶ C/m, the practical unit for high-voltage transmission line charge density and surface charge on dielectric films. A 400 kV overhead transmission line has a linear charge density of about 4-8 µC/m; triboelectrically charged polymer films carry surface charge equivalent to 1-100 µC/m along a strip; Van de Graaff belt charge densities are in this range. 1 µC/m = 10⁻⁶ C/m = 10⁻³ mC/m.
About Gigacoulombs per metre
The gigacoulomb per metre (GC/m) equals 10⁹ C/m, a value with no engineering realisation but used in astrophysical and cosmological electromagnetic models. Magnetar magnetic fields, pulsar magnetosphere current sheet charge densities, and theoretical cosmic string electromagnetic scenarios are described at GC/m scales in research literature. 1 GC/m = 10⁹ C/m = 10³ MC/m.
