Conversion Formula
statF = GF × 8.987551787e+20
About Gigafarads
The gigafarad (GF) equals 10⁹ F, numerically identical to the CGS-EMU abfarad. No physical capacitor approaches 1 GF; the value arises in theoretical superconducting circuit analysis and in historical CGS-EMU electromagnetic texts where the abfarad (= 1 GF) was the natural capacitance unit. 1 GF = 10³ MF = 10⁹ F = 1 abF.
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.
