Why convert between microvolt/meter and abvolt/centimeter?

Conversion is needed to compare or translate weak electric field measurements between modern SI units and older CGS-EMU literature for compatibility and historical analysis.

Are microvolt/meter and abvolt/centimeter equivalent in magnitude?

Yes, 1 microvolt per meter equals 1 abvolt per centimeter, making them directly convertible for weak electric fields.

Is the abvolt/centimeter unit still commonly used?

No, abvolt/centimeter is largely obsolete and mainly appears in older electromagnetic measurement contexts.
