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 Microcoulombs
The microcoulomb (µC) equals 10⁻⁶ C, used for moderate capacitors, piezoelectric charge outputs, and laboratory electrostatics. A 1 µF capacitor at 1 V holds exactly 1 µC; piezoelectric accelerometers generate charge signals in the microcoulomb range under mechanical loading. 1 µC = 10⁻³ mC = 10³ nC.
