ESU of Charge

ESU

Definition

ESU (Electrostatic Unit) of charge is a unit in the CGS electrostatic system, equal to approximately 3.335640951982E-10 coulombs. It represents the electrostatic unit of electric charge.

History/Origin

ESU of charge was part of the CGS electrostatic system of units, defined based on electrostatic principles and the force between charged particles.

Current Use

Historical unit rarely used in modern applications. The coulomb and other SI units have replaced the CGS electrostatic system in most scientific and engineering work.
