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 Kilocoulombs per square metre
The kilocoulomb per square metre (kC/m²) equals 10³ C/m², the scale for electrochemical processes involving heavy plating, electrolytic metal dissolution, and pulsed-power surface ablation. Thick copper electroforming runs accumulate kC/m²-scale charge; electrochemical machining (ECM) removes material at multi-kC/m² charge densities; large electrolytic capacitor anode foils are etched at kC/m². 1 kC/m² = 10³ C/m².
