Abcoulomb

abC

Definition

Abcoulomb is a unit of electric charge in the CGS electromagnetic system, equal to 10 coulombs. It was part of the electromagnetic system of units.

History/Origin

Abcoulomb was defined in the CGS electromagnetic system as the unit of charge that would produce a force of one dyne when placed one centimeter from an equal charge.

Current Use

Rarely used today, mainly in historical contexts and some specialized electromagnetic calculations. The coulomb has largely replaced it in modern applications.
