Debye to coulomb-meters
Type a value in D to get it in C·m instantly.
6.171×10⁻³⁰C·m
That's about the same as water. That is a whole electron charge separated by about 38.52 picometers.
Convert the other way: C·m to D
What it means
How polar is that?
These are gas-phase molecular dipole moments. In a liquid, neighboring molecules polarize each other and the effective value is larger.
The math
How to convert D to C·m
To convert debye to coulomb-meters, multiply by 3.336×10⁻³⁰.
Example: 1.85 D × 3.336×10⁻³⁰ = 6.171×10⁻³⁰ C·m.
In the other direction, 1 C·m = 2.998×10²⁹ D.
