What is a statcoulomb?

A statcoulomb (stC) is the electrostatic unit of charge in the cgs‑ESU (Gaussian) system, used primarily in theoretical and older scientific works.

How many coulombs are in one ampere-minute?

One ampere-minute equals 60 coulombs, representing the charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere flowing for one minute.

Why convert statcoulombs to ampere-minutes?

Converting from statcoulombs to ampere-minutes allows translating theoretical Gaussian charge units into practical SI-based units quantifying total charge over time.

Limitations

Converted results are extremely small since statcoulomb is a tiny charge unit and ampere-minute is a much larger integrated charge unit
This conversion is mainly relevant to theoretical, scientific, or specialized uses rather than everyday electrical calculations
Numerical precision is critical due to the scale difference in unit sizes
The tool does not provide conversion for other units beyond statcoulomb to ampere-minute
