Volume Charge Density represents the amount of electric charge per unit volume in a given region of space. It helps us understand how much electric charge is distributed within a specific volume.

Volume charge density is denoted by the symbol "ρ" (rho) and is expressed in units of charge per unit volume, such as Coulombs per cubic meter (C/m³), Coulombs per cubic centimeter (C/cm³), and Coulombs per cubic inch (C/in³), among others.

Below are the most common units used to express volume charge density and their corresponding conversion factors:

  • Coulomb per cubic meter (C/m³): One Coulomb of electric charge distributed uniformly within a one-meter cubic volume.
    Conversion Factor: 1 C/m³ = 1 C/m³ (Base Unit)

  • Coulomb per cubic centimeter (C/cm³): One Coulomb of electric charge distributed uniformly within a one-centimeter cubic volume.
    Conversion Factor: 1 C/cm³ = 1,000,000 C/m³

  • Coulomb per cubic inch (C/in³): One Coulomb of electric charge distributed uniformly within a one-inch cubic volume.
    Conversion Factor: 1 C/in³ ≈ 61,023.61 C/m³

  • Abcoulomb per cubic meter (abC/m³): One Abcoulomb (10 Coulombs) of electric charge distributed uniformly within a one-meter cubic volume. (CGS unit)
    Conversion Factor: 1 abC/m³ = 10 C/m³

  • Abcoulomb per cubic centimeter (abC/cm³): One Abcoulomb (10 Coulombs) of electric charge distributed uniformly within a one-centimeter cubic volume. (CGS unit)
    Conversion Factor: 1 abC/cm³ = 10 C/cm³ = 10,000,000 C/m³

  • Abcoulomb per cubic inch³ (abC/in³): One Abcoulomb (10 Coulombs) of electric charge distributed uniformly within a one-inch cubic volume. (CGS unit)
    Conversion Factor: 1 abC/in³ = 10 C/in³ ≈ 610,239.8 C/m³
