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 Femtocoulombs per metre

The femtocoulomb per metre (fC/m) equals 10⁻¹⁵ C/m, arising in scanning probe measurements of charged surface features and in single-molecule electrostatic force microscopy. A single elementary charge (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) localised on a 1 µm polymer segment gives about 0.16 fC/m; EFM tip-sample interaction models use fC/m-scale induced charge distributions. 1 fC/m = 10⁻¹⁵ C/m = 10⁻³ pC/m.
