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 Gigacoulombs per metre
The gigacoulomb per metre (GC/m) equals 10⁹ C/m, a value with no engineering realisation but used in astrophysical and cosmological electromagnetic models. Magnetar magnetic fields, pulsar magnetosphere current sheet charge densities, and theoretical cosmic string electromagnetic scenarios are described at GC/m scales in research literature. 1 GC/m = 10⁹ C/m = 10³ MC/m.
