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 metre
The microcoulomb per metre (µC/m) equals 10⁻⁶ C/m, the practical unit for high-voltage transmission line charge density and surface charge on dielectric films. A 400 kV overhead transmission line has a linear charge density of about 4-8 µC/m; triboelectrically charged polymer films carry surface charge equivalent to 1-100 µC/m along a strip; Van de Graaff belt charge densities are in this range. 1 µC/m = 10⁻⁶ C/m = 10⁻³ mC/m.
