About Abvolts per centimetre
The abvolt per centimetre (abV/cm) is the electric field unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abV / 1 cm = 10⁻⁸ V / 0.01 m = 10⁻⁶ V/m, exactly equal to 1 µV/m. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic texts alongside the abampere and abohm when deriving field solutions from the CGS-EMU form of Coulomb's law. 1 abV/cm = 10⁻⁶ V/m = 1 µV/m.
About Newtons per coulomb
The newton per coulomb (N/C) is dimensionally identical to V/m (1 N/C = 1 V/m = 1 kg·m·A⁻¹·s⁻³) and is preferred in force-based electrostatics, where the field is defined directly as E = F/q. Coulomb's law gives the field near a point charge as E = kq/r² naturally in N/C; the unit is standard in introductory physics alongside field-line diagrams. 1 N/C = 1 V/m.
