Frequently Asked Questions

What is a coulomb?
A coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, defined as the charge transported by a current of one ampere in one second.

Why convert to statcoulombs?
Statcoulombs are used in the Gaussian unit system common in plasma physics and astrophysics, simplifying certain electromagnetic equations.

Is the statcoulomb an SI unit?
No, the statcoulomb is part of the cgs-ESU system and is not an SI unit.

Key Terminology

Coulomb [C]
The SI unit of electric charge representing the charge transported by one ampere of current in one second.
Statcoulomb [stC]
The cgs-ESU (Gaussian) unit of electric charge, used in theoretical electrodynamics and certain physics fields.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to translate a value in coulombs to statcoulombs; specifically, 1 C equals approximately 2997924579.9996 stC.
