statfarad
Statfarad is the unit of electrical capacitance in the CGS electrostatic (Gaussian) system of units, part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) electrostatic (ESU) family. In this system, capacitance is defined as C = Q / V, where Q is charged in statcoulombs and V in statvolts, so one statfarad is the capacitance that stores one statcoulomb of charge at one statvolt: 1 statfarad = 1 statcoulomb per statvolt.
In the CGS-ESU framework, fundamental constants are embedded in the unit definitions, and Coulomb’s law takes
Conversions to SI units are well established: 1 statcoulomb ≈ 3.33564 × 10^-10 coulombs, 1 statvolt ≈ 299.792458
Today, the statfarad is rarely used outside of historical discussions or specific theoretical treatments; modern measurements
