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.

About Kilovolts

The kilovolt (kV) equals 10³ V, used in high-voltage power supplies, X-ray machines, and electricity distribution. Dental and medical X-ray tubes operate at 60-120 kV; CRT television picture tubes required 20-30 kV for the final anode; distribution transformers step down from transmission lines at 11-33 kV to the local grid. Tesla coils generate sparks at tens to hundreds of kilovolts. 1 kV = 10³ V = 10⁻³ MV.
