How to Convert Statcoulombs to Faradays
To convert from statcoulombs (statC) to faradays (F), you divide the charge in statcoulombs by 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴. For more information about statcoulombs as a unit of measurement, visit our statcoulombs page.
Formula
Faradays = Statcoulombs / 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴
or
F = statC / 2.89259485e14
Examples
- 1 statC = 1 / 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 3.4571 × 10⁻¹⁵ F
- 10 statC = 10 / 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 3.4571 × 10⁻¹⁴ F
- 100 statC = 100 / 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 3.4571 × 10⁻¹³ F
- 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ statC = 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ / 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 1 F
When to Convert Statcoulombs to Faradays
This conversion is primarily used in specialized physics contexts, particularly when dealing with electrostatics in the CGS system of units, and relating it to electrochemical units.
Theoretical Physics
In theoretical physics, especially in older texts or specific contexts, statcoulombs might be used for calculations involving electric fields and forces, and then converted to faradays for electrochemical considerations.
Historical Context
Understanding this conversion is important for interpreting historical scientific literature that predates the widespread adoption of SI units.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
How do I convert faradays to statcoulombs?
To convert from faradays to statcoulombs, you multiply the charge in faradays by 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴. For example, 1 F is equal to 1 * 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ = 2.89259485 × 10¹⁴ statC.
