About Gigacoulombs per square metre

The gigacoulomb per square metre (GC/m²) equals 10⁹ C/m², a value with no engineering realisation, used only in astrophysical and theoretical plasma models. Magnetar magnetosphere charge sheet densities, pulsar polar cap surface charge, and theoretical cosmic string surface charge are described at GC/m² scales in research literature. 1 GC/m² = 10⁹ C/m² = 10³ MC/m².

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.
