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 Megacoulombs per square metre
The megacoulomb per square metre (MC/m²) equals 10⁶ C/m², encountered in pulsed-power Z-pinch target engineering and extreme plasma physics. Current-carrying surfaces in Z-pinch implosions experience charge densities approaching MC/m² transiently; magnetohydrodynamic models of solar coronal loops and active region surfaces reference MC/m² surface current sheets. 1 MC/m² = 10⁶ C/m² = 10³ kC/m².
