What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate electrical resistance expressed in statohm, a historical unit from the CGS-ESU system, into volt per ampere (V/A), the modern SI derived unit of resistance also known as ohms. It is useful for interpreting old scientific literature, comparing legacy data, and educational purposes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value of electrical resistance in statohm that you want to convert.
  • Select statohm as the input unit and volt/ampere [V/A] as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent resistance in volt per ampere.
  • Review the output value and use it for your analysis or comparison with modern measurements.

Key Features

  • Converts units from statohm to volt per ampere (V/A) accurately within the defined conversion rate.
  • Supports translation of obsolete CGS-ESU resistance values into the SI system for practical use.
  • Provides examples demonstrating the multiplication involved in converting values.
  • Browser-based and easy to operate with simple input and output fields.
  • Ideal for engineers, physicists, educators, and students dealing with classical electromagnetism.

Examples

  • 2 statohm converts to 2 × 898755200000 = 1797510400000 volt/ampere [V/A].
  • 0.5 statohm converts to 0.5 × 898755200000 = 449377600000 volt/ampere [V/A].

Common Use Cases

  • Converting resistance values found in historical CGS-ESU unit-based documents to the SI system for direct comparison.
  • Interpreting classical electromagnetic research and reproducing derivations that employ CGS-ESU units.
  • Educational purposes illustrating the differences between CGS and SI electrical resistance measurements.
  • Comparing legacy measurement data with contemporary instrumentation readings in physics or electrical engineering contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always consider the context of the statohm as an obsolete unit before applying converted results.
  • Use conversions primarily for theoretical comparison and educational reference rather than practical circuit design.
  • Double-check input values to avoid misinterpretation due to extremely large numerical outputs after conversion.
  • Familiarize yourself with both CGS-ESU and SI systems to understand relevance and limitations during conversion.

Limitations

  • The statohm is no longer used for practical measurements and is considered obsolete.
  • Converted values in volt per ampere may be extremely large, requiring careful interpretation.
  • Conversion results should not be used directly for designing modern circuits or interpreting real-time instrumentation data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statohm?
A statohm is an outdated unit of electrical resistance from the electrostatic variant of the CGS system, mostly used in historical scientific contexts.

Why convert statohm to volt/ampere?
Conversion facilitates comparison of old resistance values with modern measurements, making historical data applicable within the SI unit framework.

Is volt per ampere the same as ohm?
Yes, volt per ampere (V/A) is the SI derived unit of resistance and is equivalent to one ohm (Ω).

Key Terminology

Statohm
A historical unit of electrical resistance from the electrostatic CGS system, now obsolete in practical use.
Volt per ampere (V/A)
A modern SI derived unit equal to one ohm, representing electrical resistance.
CGS-ESU system
A centimetre-gram-second electrostatic system of units previously used in electromagnetism.
