Convert ESU of Capacitance to EMU of Capacitance

Type the number of esu that you wish to convert to emu.

1 esu (esu) = 1.11265e-21 emu (emu)

How to Convert ESU to EMU

The esu of capacitance and emu of capacitance are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 emu of capacitance equals exactly 8.9875522401e20 esu. This means to convert esu to emu, you divide by 8.9875522401e20.

Formula

emu = esu ÷ 8.9875522401e20

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 esu to emu:

1
Convert 5 esu to emu

We need to convert esu to emu

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 emu = 8.9875522401e20 esu, divide by 8.9875522401e20

5 ÷ 8.9875522401e20 = 5.56325e-21

Answer

5 esu = 5.56325e-21 emu

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.

EMU of Capacitance (emu)

The EMU (electromagnetic unit) of capacitance is identical to the abfarad, equal to 10⁹ farads. Part of the CGS electromagnetic system. An impractically large unit for any real-world application; used only in historical contexts.
