About Abcoulombs per centimetre
The abcoulomb per centimetre (abC/cm) is the linear charge density unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 cm = 10 C / 0.01 m = 1 000 C/m, exactly equal to 1 kC/m in SI. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic engineering texts on telegraphy cables and in EMU derivations of inductance and capacitance per unit length. 1 abC/cm = 1 000 C/m = 1 kC/m.
About Coulombs per centimetre
The coulomb per centimetre (C/cm) equals exactly 100 C/m, used in high-energy particle physics and pulsed-power engineering. Particle accelerator beam current densities along the beam axis are quoted in C/cm for high-intensity bunches; pulsed lightning-simulator spark channels carry several C/cm at peak current; field-emission cathode models describe space-charge limited current in C/cm. 1 C/cm = 100 C/m = 10⁻² kC/m.
