Statvolt per Inch

stV/in

Definition

The Statvolt per Inch (stV/in) equals approximately 11,803 volts per meter, combining the CGS electrostatic unit with imperial measurements. This hybrid unit was used in some specialized applications where both CGS electrostatic units and imperial measurements were employed.

History/Origin

The statvolt per inch unit emerged from the combination of CGS electrostatic units with imperial measurements, used in some specialized applications where both systems were employed. It represents a transitional period in electrical engineering between different unit systems.

Current Use

The statvolt per inch is largely obsolete and rarely used in modern applications. Its primary relevance is in historical electrical engineering literature and specialized theoretical studies where the combination of CGS electrostatic and imperial units was historically significant.
