Abcoulomb per square centimeter quick reference
| Abcoulomb per square centimeter | Coulomb per square meter | Microcoulomb per square centimeter | Coulomb per square centimeter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 abC/cm² | = 100000 C/m² | = 10000000 µC/cm² | = 10 C/cm² |
| 10 abC/cm² | = 1000000 C/m² | = 100000000 µC/cm² | = 100 C/cm² |
| 100 abC/cm² | = 10000000 C/m² | = 1000000000 µC/cm² | = 1000 C/cm² |
| 1000 abC/cm² | = 100000000 C/m² | = 10000000000 µC/cm² | = 10000 C/cm² |
Where the abcoulomb per square centimeter fits
The next smaller surface charge density unit is the coulomb per square centimeter (C/cm²). 1 abC/cm² = 10 C/cm², and 1 C/cm² = 0.1 abC/cm².
