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 Nanofarads per centimetre

The nanofarad per centimetre (nF/cm) equals 10⁻⁷ F/m, used in power cable and high-voltage capacitor characterisation. High-voltage XLPE power cables (230 kV) have capacitance per unit length of 0.1-0.2 nF/cm; oil-impregnated paper capacitors used in power factor correction banks are characterised in nF/cm. 1 nF/cm = 10⁻⁷ F/m = 10³ pF/cm.
