Coulomb per Square Meter
C/m²
Definition
The SI base unit of surface charge density, representing one coulomb of electric charge distributed over one square meter of surface area. This unit is fundamental in electromagnetism and electrical engineering applications.
History/Origin
Named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, the French physicist who formulated Coulomb's law. The coulomb was established as the SI unit of electric charge in 1948, and surface charge density measurements became standardized.
Current Use
Widely used in electrical engineering, physics, and materials science for analyzing charge distribution on surfaces, calculating electric fields, and designing electrical systems and components.

Abcoulomb per Square Meter
abC/m²
Definition
A CGS electromagnetic unit of surface charge density equal to 10 coulombs per square meter. This unit is part of the electromagnetic CGS system.
History/Origin
Part of the CGS electromagnetic system, where the abcoulomb was defined as 10 coulombs. This system was widely used in physics before the adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Still used in some physics research and older scientific literature. Occasionally referenced in electromagnetic theory and historical electrical engineering texts.
