About Millicoulombs per square metre
The millicoulomb per square metre (mC/m²) equals 10⁻³ C/m², the scale for triboelectric charging of common plastics and electrostatic spray-coating processes. Rubbed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) accumulates 1-10 mC/m²; electrostatic powder coating guns deposit 1-5 mC/m² on grounded work pieces; thundercloud base charge density before lightning is 1-5 mC/m². 1 mC/m² = 10⁻³ C/m² = 10³ µC/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.
