The '''statvolt''' is a unit of [[voltage]] and [[electrical potential]] used in the [[Centimetre–gram–second_system_of_units#Electrostatic_units_(ESU)|CGS-ESU]] and [[Gaussian units|gaussian]] systems of units. In terms of its relation to the [[SI]] units, one statvolt corresponds to {{math|''c''}}{{sub|cgs}}&nbsp;{{val|e=-8|ul=volt}},{{efn|name="cCGC"}} i.e. to 299.792458&nbsp;[[volt]]s.{{refn|name="Purcell"|{{cite book|last=Purcell|first=Edward|title=Electricity and Magnetism|url=https://archive.org/details/electricitymagne00purc_621|url-access=limited|year=2011|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|isbn=9781107013605|pages=[https://archive.org/details/electricitymagne00purc_621/page/n493 474]–475|edition=Second}}}}{{efn|As of the [[2019 revision of the SI]], this correspondence is not longer exact.}}
 
The statvolt is also defined in the [[CGS]] system as 1&nbsp;[[erg]] /per [[statcoulomb]].{{refn|name="Purcell"}}
It is a useful unit for [[electromagnetism]] because, in a vacuum, an [[electric field]] of one statvolt per centimetre has the same energy density as a [[magnetic field]] of one [[Gauss (unit)|gauss]]. Likewise, a plane wave propagating in a vacuum has perpendicular electric and magnetic fields such that for every gauss of magnetic field intensity there is one statvolt/cm of electric field intensity.{{refn|name="Purcell"}}
 
In the CGS-EMU system, the unit of voltage is the [[abvolt]].
