Line 24:
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}} {{val|e=-8|ul=volt}},{{efn|name="cCGC"}} i.e. to 299.792458 [[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 [[erg]]
It is a useful unit for [[electromagnetism]] because, in
In the CGS-EMU system, the unit of voltage is the [[abvolt]].
