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 Microcoulombs per centimetre

The microcoulomb per centimetre (µC/cm) equals exactly 10⁻⁴ C/m, used in electrophoresis and charged-particle beam physics. Charged particle beams in linear accelerators are characterised by bunch charge per unit beam length; a 1 nC electron bunch compressed to 1 mm gives 1 µC/cm = 0.1 mC/m; ion implant beam line charge densities are quoted in µC/cm for process uniformity. 1 µC/cm = 10⁻⁴ C/m = 0.1 mC/m.
