About Gigacoulombs per cubic metre

The gigacoulomb per cubic metre (GC/m³) equals 10⁹ C/m³, the natural scale for free-electron charge density in metals. Copper has ~8.5×10²⁸ free electrons/m³, giving total free-charge density ≈13.6 GC/m³; gold is ≈9.4 GC/m³; this scale is also used in extreme fusion plasma models at densities above 10²⁸ /m³. 1 GC/m³ = 10⁹ C/m³ = 10³ MC/m³.

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.
