A statfarad (stF) is the cgs–electrostatic unit of electrical capacitance in the Gaussian system, corresponding to a capacitance equivalent to one centimetre.

Why would I convert statfarads to microfarads?

Conversion helps relate theoretical or historical capacitance values in Gaussian units to practical microfarads used in modern electronics.

Where is the microfarad used?

The microfarad is commonly used in electronics to specify capacitor values for filtering, coupling, decoupling, and timing circuits.
