Statcoulombs per square centimeter to coulombs per square meter

Type a value in esu/cm² to get it in C/m² instantly.

3.336×10⁻⁵C/m²

That's 1.25× as charged as the point where air sparks, while a nerve cell membrane at rest is 21× more charged. That is one elementary charge for every 4,803 nm².

What it means

How charged is that surface?

Figures are typical. A rubbed balloon varies with humidity; electrode values depend on the material and the voltage.

The math

How to convert esu/cm² to C/m²

To convert statcoulombs per square centimeter to coulombs per square meter, multiply by 3.336×10⁻⁶.

Example: 10 esu/cm² × 3.336×10⁻⁶ = 3.336×10⁻⁵ C/m².

In the other direction, 1 C/m² = 299,792 esu/cm².
