Nanocoulombs to Statcoulombs Conversion

Nanocoulombs

The nanocoulomb is 1/1,000,000,000 of a coulomb, which is the electric charge equal to one ampere of current over one second.

The nanocoulomb is a multiple of the coulomb, which is the SI derived unit for electric charge. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for 10^-9. Nanocoulombs can be abbreviated as nC; for example, 1 nanocoulomb can be written as 1 nC.

Statcoulombs

One statcoulomb is the electric charge equal to one statampere of current over one second. One statcoulomb is the amount of electrical charge, that if two like objects carrying a charge of of one statcoulomb each are placed with the center of charge one centimeter apart, the objects repel each other with a force of one dyne.

The statcoulomb is a centimeter-gram-second (CGS) electrostatic unit of electric charge. A statcoulomb is sometimes also referred to as a franklin or ESU. Statcoulombs can be abbreviated as stC, and are also sometimes abbreviated as statC. For example, 1 statcoulomb can be written as 1 stC or 1 statC.
