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 foot
The coulomb per foot (C/ft) equals exactly 1/0.3048 C/m ≈ 3.2808 C/m, used in North American electrical engineering for charge per unit length on power cables and conductor specifications. High-voltage DC cable charge density ratings are sometimes quoted in C/ft in ANSI/NEMA specifications; lightning protection standards may express charge density per foot of conductor. 1 C/ft = 1/0.3048 C/m ≈ 3.2808 C/m.
