About Statcoulombs
The statcoulomb (statC), also called the franklin (Fr) or ESU of charge, is the charge unit in the CGS-Gaussian system. Two point charges of 1 statC separated by 1 cm exert a force of exactly 1 dyne; 1 statC = 1 / (2.99 792 458 × 10⁹) C ≈ 3.336 × 10⁻¹⁰ C (exact, since c is a defined constant). It remains in use in electrostatics textbooks and atomic physics where working without the ε₀ factor simplifies Coulomb-law expressions.
About Faradays
The faraday (F) equals the Avogadro constant times the elementary charge - N_A × e ≈ 96 485.33 C per mole - and is the fundamental unit of electrochemical charge (Faraday's law: 1 F deposits one gram-equivalent of any substance). Depositing 1 g of silver (Ag⁺, M = 107.87 g/mol) requires 96 485 / 107.87 ≈ 894 C ≈ 0.00927 F; plating copper (Cu²⁺) requires 2 F per mole. 1 F ≈ 26.801 Ah ≈ 96.485 kC.
