About Gigavolts
The gigavolt (GV) equals 10⁹ V, arising in extreme natural phenomena and in theoretical particle-physics contexts. Ball lightning and superbolts - the most energetic lightning events - are estimated to involve potentials approaching 1 GV; pulsed-power generators like the Sandia Z Machine produce multi-GV transients for fusion research; the electrostatic potential of a highly charged Van Allen belt particle can be expressed in gigavolts. 1 GV = 10⁹ V = 10⁻³ TV.
About Statvolts
The statvolt (statV) is the electric potential unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to 1 erg/statC = c × 10⁻⁶ V = 299.792 458 V (exact, where c = 299 792 458 m/s). In Gaussian CGS the electric field is measured in statV/cm, and Coulomb's law is written without ε₀. The statvolt appears in electrostatics and atomic-physics textbooks and in calculations involving the fine-structure constant. 1 statV ≈ 299.8 V.
