Nanocoulombs per meter to coulombs per meter

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

1×10⁻⁸C/m

That's 11× as charged as a DNA strand, while a rubbed glass rod is 10× more charged. One meter from a long line like that, the electric field is about 179.8 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 nC/m to C/m

To convert nanocoulombs per meter to coulombs per meter, multiply by 1×10⁻⁹.

Example: 10 nC/m × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁸ C/m.

In the other direction, 1 C/m = 1,000,000,000 nC/m.
