What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate electric potential values from volts, the standard SI unit, into statvolts, a unit used in the CGS electrostatic system. It is useful for interpreting measurements across different scientific unit systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric potential value in volts [V].
  • Select volts as the input unit and statvolts [stV] as the output unit.
  • Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent value in statvolts.
  • Use the provided examples to verify the process.

Key Features

  • Converts electric potential values from volts to statvolts.
  • Supports conversions needed for CGS/Gaussian electromagnetic formulations.
  • Suitable for physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, and electromagnetism contexts.
  • Includes example conversions for quick reference.

Examples

  • 10 V equals 0.033356405 statvolts.
  • 100 V equals 0.33356405 statvolts.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting volt measurements to statvolts for older CGS/Gaussian literature review.
  • Analyzing theoretical electromagnetic problems using CGS units.
  • Comparing historical experiments recorded in electrostatic units with modern SI volt data.

Tips & Best Practices
