About Farads per metre
The farad per metre (F/m) is the SI coherent unit of permittivity. It is an extremely large unit in practice - the vacuum permittivity ε₀ is only 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m. Permittivities in F/m arise in models of quasi-metallic electrolytes and ultralow-frequency behaviour of plasma where ionic screening raises the effective dielectric constant enormously. 1 F/m = 10³ mF/m.
About Nanofarads per centimetre
The nanofarad per centimetre (nF/cm) equals 10⁻⁷ F/m, used in power cable and high-voltage capacitor characterisation. High-voltage XLPE power cables (230 kV) have capacitance per unit length of 0.1-0.2 nF/cm; oil-impregnated paper capacitors used in power factor correction banks are characterised in nF/cm. 1 nF/cm = 10⁻⁷ F/m = 10³ pF/cm.
