Statcoulomb Converter Calculator

A statcoulomb (stC or statC) is a CGS electrostatic unit of electric charge, also known as a franklin or ESU (electrostatic unit). It's a fundamental unit in electrostatics that helps measure electric charge in physical systems.

Key Points About Statcoulombs:

• 1 statcoulomb equals one statampere of current flowing for one second
• Two objects with 1 statcoulomb each, placed 1 cm apart, repel with 1 dyne force
• 1 statcoulomb = 3.33564 × 10⁻¹⁰ coulombs
• Used primarily in scientific calculations and electrostatic measurements

Common Applications:

• Electrostatic experiments and measurements
• Physics research and calculations
• Educational demonstrations of electrostatic principles
• Historical scientific literature and references
