About Abamperes per square centimetre
The abampere per square centimetre (abA/cm²) is the current density unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10 A / 10⁻⁴ m² = 10⁵ A/m². The abampere (= 10 A exactly) was the CGS-EMU base current unit before SI adoption; in EMU notation Ampère’s law uses J in abA/cm² and magnetic field in gauss without additional conversion factors. 1 abA/cm² = 10⁵ A/m² = 10 A/cm².
About Amperes per square metre
The ampere per square metre (A/m²) is the SI coherent unit of current density, defined as 1 A flowing through 1 m² cross-section. Electrolytic copper plating baths operate at 200-500 A/m²; photovoltaic short-circuit current density of silicon solar cells at AM 1.5G is 35-42 A/m²; cathodic protection of bare steel in soil applies 10-50 A/m². 1 A/m² = 0.1 mA/cm².
