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 foot
The coulomb per foot (C/ft) equals exactly 1/0.3048 C/m ≈ 3.2808 C/m, used in North American electrical engineering for charge per unit length on power cables and conductor specifications. High-voltage DC cable charge density ratings are sometimes quoted in C/ft in ANSI/NEMA specifications; lightning protection standards may express charge density per foot of conductor. 1 C/ft = 1/0.3048 C/m ≈ 3.2808 C/m.
