Statcoulomb

stC

Definition

Statcoulomb is a unit of electric charge in the CGS electrostatic system, equal to approximately 3.335640951982E-10 coulombs. It was defined based on electrostatic principles.

History/Origin

Statcoulomb was defined in the CGS electrostatic system as the unit of charge that would produce a force of one dyne when placed one centimeter from an equal charge in a vacuum.

Current Use

Rarely used in modern applications, mainly in historical contexts and some specialized electrostatic calculations. The coulomb has replaced it in most scientific work.
