How to Convert Faradays to Statcoulombs
To convert from faradays (F) to statcoulombs (statC), you multiply the charge in faradays by 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 F = 96485.3321 C, and 1 C = 2,997,924,580 statC. For more information about faradays as a unit of measurement, visit our faradays page.
Formula
Statcoulombs = Faradays × 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴
or
statC = F × 2.89259485e14
Examples
- 1 F = 1 × 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ statC
- 0.0000000000000034571 F = 0.0000000000000034571 × 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 1 statC
- 0.00000000000001 F = 0.00000000000001 × 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 2,892,594.85 statC
- 0.0000000000001 F = 0.0000000000001 × 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 28,925,948.5 statC

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a faraday (F)?
A faraday is a unit of electric charge equal to the magnitude of charge of one mole of electrons, approximately 96,485.3321 coulombs. It is named after Michael Faraday.
What is a statcoulomb (statC)?
A statcoulomb, also known as an electrostatic unit of charge (esu), is a unit of electric charge in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units. One statcoulomb is defined such that two unit charges separated by one centimeter repel each other with a force of one dyne.
How do I convert statcoulombs to faradays?
To convert from statcoulombs to faradays, you divide the charge in statcoulombs by 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴. For example, 1 statC is equal to 1 / 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 0.0000000000000034571 F.
