About Abfarads
The abfarad (abF) is the capacitance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 abV = 10 C / 10⁻⁸ V = 10⁹ F, exactly equal to 1 GF in SI. It appeared in nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; 1 abF represents the capacitance of a connection storing 10 C at 10 nV. 1 abF = 10⁹ F = 1 GF.
About Statfarads
The statfarad (statF) is the capacitance unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to exactly 10⁵/c² F where c = 299 792 458 m/s, giving ≈ 1.1127 × 10⁻¹² F. A sphere of 1 cm radius in vacuum has capacitance exactly 1 statF in Gaussian units; Gaussian-system electrostatics texts and plasma-physics codes express capacitances in statfarads. 1 statF = 10⁵/c² F ≈ 1.113 pF.
