About Megacoulombs per square metre
The megacoulomb per square metre (MC/m²) equals 10⁶ C/m², encountered in pulsed-power Z-pinch target engineering and extreme plasma physics. Current-carrying surfaces in Z-pinch implosions experience charge densities approaching MC/m² transiently; magnetohydrodynamic models of solar coronal loops and active region surfaces reference MC/m² surface current sheets. 1 MC/m² = 10⁶ C/m² = 10³ kC/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.
