Coulombs per centimeter to coulombs per meter

Type a value in C/cm to get it in C/m instantly.

1,000C/m

That's 1,000,000× as charged as a lightning leader — nothing on our list beats it. One meter from a long line like that, the electric field is about 1.798×10¹³ V/m.

What it means

How charged is that line?

Figures are typical. A power line’s charge follows its voltage and height; a lightning leader’s varies from stroke to stroke.

The math

How to convert C/cm to C/m

To convert coulombs per centimeter to coulombs per meter, multiply by 100.

Example: 10 C/cm × 100 = 1,000 C/m.

In the other direction, 1 C/m = 0.01 C/cm.
