Coulomb per Centimeter
C/cm
Definition
A metric unit of linear charge density equal to 100 coulombs per meter. This unit is commonly used for measuring charge density on smaller conductors and electrical components.
History/Origin
Derived from the coulomb per meter by applying the metric prefix system. The centimeter scale is practical for laboratory measurements and small-scale electrical engineering applications.
Current Use
Used in laboratory settings, electronics manufacturing, and precision electrical measurements where centimeter-scale dimensions are more convenient than meter-scale measurements.
