About Abcoulombs per cubic centimetre
The abcoulomb per cubic centimetre (abC/cm³) is the volume charge density unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 cm³ = 10 C / 10⁻⁶ m³ = 10⁷ C/m³. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic texts and in CGS-EMU space-charge-limited current models; metallic free-electron charge densities are conveniently expressed at this scale in CGS analysis. 1 abC/cm³ = 10⁷ C/m³ = 10 MC/m³.
About Nanocoulombs per cubic metre
The nanocoulomb per cubic metre (nC/m³) equals 10⁻⁹ C/m³, the scale for thundercloud volume charge and laboratory low-pressure plasmas. The main negative charge region of a mature thunderstorm has volume charge density of 1-5 nC/m³; glow discharge plasma at ~1 Pa has space charge density in the nC/m³ to µC/m³ range. 1 nC/m³ = 10⁻⁹ C/m³ = 10⁻³ µC/m³.
