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 Statcoulombs per centimetre

The statcoulomb per centimetre (statC/cm) is the linear charge density unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to 10/c C/m where c = 299 792 458 m/s, giving exactly 10/299 792 458 C/m ≈ 3.336 × 10⁻⁸ C/m. It falls between nC/m and µC/m in the SI scale; the electric field of a line charge is written E = 2λ/r in Gaussian units without a 4πε₀ factor. 1 statC/cm ≈ 33.356 nC/m.
