How to Convert Linear Charge Density Units
Linear charge density is the electric charge per unit length of a line or wire. The SI unit is coulomb per metre (C/m).
Every unit on this page is stored as a fixed factor relative to one reference unit, the coulomb per metre (C/m). Converting is a two step multiply and divide:
- Multiply your value by the factor of the source unit to get the value in C/m.
- Divide that result by the factor of the target unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SI unit of linear charge density?
The SI unit of linear charge density is the coulomb per metre (C/m). Linear charge density is the electric charge per unit length of a line or wire.
How do I convert C/in to C/m?
To convert coulomb per inch (C/in) to coulomb per metre (C/m), multiply the value in C/in by 39.3701. For example, 1 C/in = 39.3701 C/m.
How do I convert C/cm to C/m?
To convert coulomb per centimetre (C/cm) to coulomb per metre (C/m), multiply the value in C/cm by 100. For example, 1 C/cm = 100 C/m.
How do I convert µC/m to C/m?
To convert microcoulomb per metre (µC/m) to coulomb per metre (C/m), multiply the value in µC/m by 0.000001. For example, 1 µC/m = 0.000001 C/m.
