A statfarad is the cgs electrostatic unit of capacitance corresponding to one centimetre in the Gaussian system, used mainly in theoretical electromagnetism.

When should I use EMU of capacitance?

EMU of capacitance is used in the cgs electromagnetic subsystem, relevant for classical electrodynamics and interpreting historical or theoretical research in cgs-emu units.

Why convert between statfarad and EMU of capacitance?

Conversion allows comparing and calculating capacitance values across different cgs subsystems, important in theoretical physics and legacy scientific literature.
