About Farads per metre

The farad per metre (F/m) is the SI coherent unit of permittivity. It is an extremely large unit in practice - the vacuum permittivity ε₀ is only 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m. Permittivities in F/m arise in models of quasi-metallic electrolytes and ultralow-frequency behaviour of plasma where ionic screening raises the effective dielectric constant enormously. 1 F/m = 10³ mF/m.

About Statfarads per centimetre

The statfarad per centimetre (statF/cm) is the permittivity unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, exactly equal to 4πε₀ = 10⁷/c² F/m ≈ 1.11265 × 10⁻¹⁰ F/m. In Gaussian units Gauss's law is ∇·E = 4πρ so the permittivity of free space is 1/(4π) statF/cm; the statF/cm is used in older plasma physics and quantum electrodynamics texts. 1 statF/cm ≈ 1.11265 × 10⁻¹⁰ F/m.
