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 Volts
The volt (V) is the SI derived unit of electric potential, defined as 1 joule per coulomb (1 J/C = 1 W/A = 1 kg·m²·A⁻¹·s⁻³). Named after Alessandro Volta who built the first electrochemical battery in 1800. Common benchmarks: a fresh AA alkaline cell is 1.5 V; USB 2.0 supplies 5 V; a car lead-acid battery is 12 V; household electricity in Europe is 230 V RMS. The volt is reproduced internationally via the Josephson voltage standard.
