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 Kilocoulombs per metre
The kilocoulomb per metre (kC/m) equals 10³ C/m, identical in value to the abcoulomb per centimetre (CGS-EMU). At this scale, charge densities appear in pulsed-power transmission lines, railgun barrel charge distribution models, and theoretical descriptions of dense plasma filaments. Large capacitor banks discharged through thin conductors deposit kC/m-scale charge before ablation. 1 kC/m = 10³ C/m = 1 abC/cm.
