What is a statfarad used for?

The statfarad is used in theoretical electromagnetism, plasma physics, and astrophysics, especially where Gaussian-cgs units are preferred for analytic work.

How does coulomb/volt relate to farads?

One coulomb per volt (C/V) is equal to one farad, the SI unit of electrostatic capacitance measuring charge storage per unit voltage.

Why convert from statfarad to coulomb/volt?

Converting allows integration of older capacitance data from the Gaussian system with modern SI-based electronic component specifications and measurement standards.
