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 Volts per metre
The volt per metre (V/m) is the SI coherent unit of electric field strength, equal to 1 N/C = 1 kg·m·A⁻¹·s⁻³. The fair-weather atmospheric surface electric field averages 100-200 V/m; a 1 W isotropic antenna produces about 5.5 V/m at 1 m; thunderstorm clouds build surface fields of 10 000-100 000 V/m before lightning discharge. 1 V/m = 1 N/C.
