What is the statampere unit?

The statampere (stA) is the electric current unit in the cgs electrostatic system, defined as one statcoulomb per second.

Is converting from statampere to ESU of current necessary?

Yes, this conversion is useful for interpreting or reporting current values in theoretical and historical contexts that use CGS electrostatic units.

Are statampere and ESU of current different units?

No, both units represent the same magnitude of current within the cgs electrostatic system and convert one-to-one.
