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 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.
