Enter the number of esu that you want to convert to abfarads.
How to Convert ESU to Abfarads
The esu of capacitance and abfarad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 abfarad equals exactly 8.9875522401e20 esu. This means to convert esu to abfarads, you divide by 8.9875522401e20.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 esu to abfarads:
We need to convert esu to abfarads
Since 1 abF = 8.9875522401e20 esu, divide by 8.9875522401e20
5 ÷ 8.9875522401e20 = 5.56325e-21
5 esu = 5.56325e-21 abF

About These Units
ESU of Capacitance (esu)
The ESU (electrostatic unit) of capacitance is identical to the statfarad, equal to approximately 1.1127 picofarads. Part of the Gaussian CGS system. Found in older scientific literature, especially electrostatics and early electromagnetic theory.
Abfarad (abF)
An abfarad (abF) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of capacitance equal to 10⁹ farads or 1 gigafarad. An impractically large unit; 1 farad = 10⁻⁹ abfarads. Found only in historical CGS electromagnetic system calculations.
