About Abfarads per centimetre
The abfarad per centimetre (abF/cm) is the permittivity unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10⁹ F / 0.01 m = 10¹¹ F/m. The abfarad (= 10⁹ F exactly) was the CGS-EMU base capacitance unit; in EMU notation electromagnetic wave propagation uses abF/cm. 1 abF/cm = 10¹¹ F/m = 10⁹ GF/m.
About Farads per metre
The farad per metre (F/m) is the SI coherent unit of permittivity. It is an extremely large unit in practice - the vacuum permittivity ε₀ is only 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m. Permittivities in F/m arise in models of quasi-metallic electrolytes and ultralow-frequency behaviour of plasma where ionic screening raises the effective dielectric constant enormously. 1 F/m = 10³ mF/m.
