About Nanocoulombs per metre
The nanocoulomb per metre (nC/m) equals 10⁻⁹ C/m, the scale for DNA backbone charge density and strongly gated carbon nanotube charge. B-form DNA carries approximately -2 elementary charges per 0.34 nm base pair spacing, giving an intrinsic linear charge density of about -0.94 nC/m; strongly biased nanotube transistors reach several nC/m. 1 nC/m = 10⁻⁹ C/m = 10⁻³ µC/m.
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.
