About Abcoulombs per square centimetre
The abcoulomb per square centimetre (abC/cm²) is the surface charge density unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 cm² = 10 C / 10⁻⁴ m² = 10⁵ C/m². It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic engineering texts on telegraph cable and dynamo analysis; the abC/cm² is the natural surface density unit when using abamperes and centimetres. 1 abC/cm² = 10⁵ C/m² = 100 kC/m².
About Coulombs per square centimetre
The coulomb per square centimetre (C/cm²) equals exactly 10⁴ C/m², used in electrochemistry for Faradaic charge densities in electrolytic cells and battery electrode characterisation. The theoretical charge density for lithiation of a graphene anode monolayer is ≈ 0.38 C/cm²; proton exchange membrane fuel cell charge densities are 0.1-1 C/cm²; pulsed-laser ablation craters carry µC to mC per cm². 1 C/cm² = 10⁴ C/m².
