What is the relationship between statfarad and ESU of capacitance?

The statfarad and ESU of capacitance are numerically equal units in the cgs-ESU system, with 1 statfarad equaling 1 ESU of capacitance.

In which fields is the conversion between statfarad and ESU commonly used?

This conversion is commonly used in theoretical electromagnetism, plasma physics, astrophysics, and when studying historical or Gaussian unit-based experimental data.

Can I use this conversion for SI unit calculations directly?

No, while statfarad and ESU are equivalent, they are not SI units; converting to SI requires careful handling due to the units’ very small scale (~10⁻¹² farad).
