Conversion Formula
abC/cm = kC/m × 1
About Kilocoulombs per metre
The kilocoulomb per metre (kC/m) equals 10³ C/m, identical in value to the abcoulomb per centimetre (CGS-EMU). At this scale, charge densities appear in pulsed-power transmission lines, railgun barrel charge distribution models, and theoretical descriptions of dense plasma filaments. Large capacitor banks discharged through thin conductors deposit kC/m-scale charge before ablation. 1 kC/m = 10³ C/m = 1 abC/cm.
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.
