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 Gigacoulombs per metre
The gigacoulomb per metre (GC/m) equals 10⁹ C/m, a value with no engineering realisation but used in astrophysical and cosmological electromagnetic models. Magnetar magnetic fields, pulsar magnetosphere current sheet charge densities, and theoretical cosmic string electromagnetic scenarios are described at GC/m scales in research literature. 1 GC/m = 10⁹ C/m = 10³ MC/m.
