What does one coulomb per volt represent?

It is the SI unit of electrostatic capacitance equal to one farad, representing the electric charge stored per unit voltage.

Why convert coulomb/volt to statfarad?

Converting helps bridge SI and Gaussian unit systems, assisting in theoretical analysis and interpreting data from older physics literature.

Are statfarad values larger or smaller compared to coulomb/volt?

Statfarad units are much smaller, so converting from coulomb/volt yields very large numeric values.
