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 Picocoulombs per metre

The picocoulomb per metre (pC/m) equals 10⁻¹² C/m, the scale for charge induced on carbon nanotubes by gate electrodes and for lightly charged polymer chains. A metallic single-wall carbon nanotube at a gate bias of a few volts carries about 10-100 pC/m; weakly charged polyelectrolytes in high-salt solution have effective linear charge densities of 1-100 pC/m after ion condensation. 1 pC/m = 10⁻¹² C/m = 10⁻³ nC/m.
