Coulomb per Square Centimeter

C/cm²

Definition

A metric unit of surface charge density equal to 10,000 coulombs per square meter. This unit is commonly used for measuring charge density on smaller surfaces and electrical components.

History/Origin

Derived from the coulomb per square 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.
