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.
About Coulombs per centimetre
The coulomb per centimetre (C/cm) equals exactly 100 C/m, used in high-energy particle physics and pulsed-power engineering. Particle accelerator beam current densities along the beam axis are quoted in C/cm for high-intensity bunches; pulsed lightning-simulator spark channels carry several C/cm at peak current; field-emission cathode models describe space-charge limited current in C/cm. 1 C/cm = 100 C/m = 10⁻² kC/m.
