About Gigacoulombs per square metre
The gigacoulomb per square metre (GC/m²) equals 10⁹ C/m², a value with no engineering realisation, used only in astrophysical and theoretical plasma models. Magnetar magnetosphere charge sheet densities, pulsar polar cap surface charge, and theoretical cosmic string surface charge are described at GC/m² scales in research literature. 1 GC/m² = 10⁹ C/m² = 10³ MC/m².
About Coulombs per square inch
The coulomb per square inch (C/in²) equals exactly 1/(0.0254)² C/m² ≈ 1 550.003 C/m², used in US insulation and dielectric material withstand specifications. Dielectric strength ratings for polymeric films in US datasheets are sometimes cross-referenced with C/in² for high-voltage applications; electrostatic precipitator collector plate performance is quoted in C/in² in some NEMA standards. 1 C/in² ≈ 1 550 C/m².
