What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values from ESU of capacitance, a classical Gaussian cgs unit used in theoretical and historical contexts, into attofarads (aF), which represent very small capacitance values commonly used in advanced scientific and engineering applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the capacitance value in ESU of capacitance
  • Select ESU of capacitance as the input unit
  • Choose attofarad [aF] as the output unit
  • View the converted capacitance in attofarads

Key Features

  • Converts electrostatic capacitance from ESU (cgs-ESU system) to attofarad [aF]
  • Supports values relevant for nanoscale and quantum device measurements
  • Browser-based and easy to use with direct conversion formula

Examples

  • 2 ESU of capacitance equals 2,225,300.112108 attofarad [aF]
  • 0.5 ESU of capacitance converts to 556,325.028027 attofarad [aF]

Common Use Cases

  • Converting historical capacitance values from classical cgs-Gaussian literature to SI subunits
  • Analyzing capacitances in nanoelectronics such as quantum dots and single-electron transistors
