Abcoulomb per centimeter quick reference
| Abcoulomb per centimeter | Coulomb per meter | Coulomb per centimeter | Coulomb per millimeter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 abC/cm | = 1000 C/m | = 10 C/cm | = 1 C/mm |
| 10 abC/cm | = 10000 C/m | = 100 C/cm | = 10 C/mm |
| 100 abC/cm | = 100000 C/m | = 1000 C/cm | = 100 C/mm |
| 1000 abC/cm | = 1000000 C/m | = 10000 C/cm | = 1000 C/mm |
Where the abcoulomb per centimeter fits
The next smaller linear charge density unit is the coulomb per centimeter (C/cm). 1 abC/cm = 10 C/cm, and 1 C/cm = 0.1 abC/cm.
