What is electron rest mass?

Electron rest mass is the invariant mass of a free electron measured in its own rest frame, representing the electron's intrinsic mass.

How is the pound defined?

The pound (lb or lbs) is a mass unit in the avoirdupois system, defined exactly as 0.45359237 kilograms.

Why convert electron mass to pounds?
