Statcoulombs per centimeter to coulombs per meter
Type a value in esu/cm to get it in C/m instantly.
3.336×10⁻⁷C/m
That's 3.3× as charged as a rubbed glass rod, while a 400 kV power line is 8.4× more charged. One meter from a long line like that, the electric field is about 5,996 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 esu/cm to C/m
To convert statcoulombs per centimeter to coulombs per meter, multiply by 3.336×10⁻⁸.
Example: 10 esu/cm × 3.336×10⁻⁸ = 3.336×10⁻⁷ C/m.
In the other direction, 1 C/m = 29,979,200 esu/cm.
