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 Millicoulombs per metre

The millicoulomb per metre (mC/m) equals 10⁻³ C/m, the scale for charge on highly loaded triboelectric surfaces, electret films, and return-stroke lightning channel segments. Industrial electret microphone films carry surface charge densities of 0.1-10 mC/m², which corresponds to similar values per metre along a thin strip; return-stroke lightning channel charge is 1-10 mC/m distributed along the leader. 1 mC/m = 10⁻³ C/m = 10³ µC/m.
