What is the ESU of capacitance?

It is the electrostatic unit of capacitance used in the cgs-Gaussian system, defined such that a conductor holding one statcoulomb at one statvolt has capacitance 1 ESU.

Why convert ESU of capacitance to exafarad?

This conversion helps relate classical cgs unit measurements to the extremely large SI unit exafarad, useful in astrophysical and theoretical modeling.

Is the exafarad unit practical for everyday electronics?

No, because the exafarad represents an extraordinarily large capacitance, it is mainly relevant for huge-scale systems rather than regular electronic components.
