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 Nanocoulombs
The nanocoulomb (nC) equals 10⁻⁹ C, the typical charge scale for capacitive sensors, electrostatic discharge events, and biological ion transport measurements. A 100 pF capacitor charged to 10 V stores 1 nC; ESD sparks from contact charging can transfer 10-500 nC. 1 nC = 10⁻³ µC = 10³ pC.
