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.
About Nanofarads per metre
The nanofarad per metre (nF/m) equals 10⁻⁹ F/m, the scale for high-permittivity dielectrics. Barium titanate (BaTiO₃) has peak relative permittivity εᵣ ~ 10 000 at the Curie temperature, giving ε ≈ 88.5 nF/m; aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) anodic films at εᵣ ~ 10 give ≈88.5 nF/m for thick-film applications. 1 nF/m = 10⁻⁹ F/m = 10³ pF/m.
