Conversion of electric units


Symbol Property SI Unit Factor Gaussian

I Electric current ampere (A) 10c statampere (statA)
Q Charge coulomb(C) 10c statcoulomb (statC)
V Electric potential volt (V) 106/c statvolt (statV)
R Resistance ohm (Ω) 105/c2 statohm (statΩ)
G Conductance siemens (S) 10−5c2 statsiemens (statS)
L Self-inductance henry (H) 105/c2 abhenry (abH)
C Capacitance farad (F) 10−5c2 cm
E Electric field V/m 104/c statV/cm
ρ Electric charge density C/m3 c/105 statC/cm3
D Electric displacement C/m2 4π10-3c statV/cm

c is the speed of light in m/s (≈ 3⋅108 m/s).
Example: 1 A = 10c statA.
