About These Units
ESU of Charge (esu)
The ESU (electrostatic unit) of charge is identical to the statcoulomb and franklin, equal to approximately 3.336×10⁻¹⁰ coulombs. Part of the Gaussian CGS system used in some theoretical physics contexts. One coulomb ≈ 2.998×10⁹ esu.
Abcoulomb (abC)
An abcoulomb (abC) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of charge equal to exactly 10 coulombs. Defined as the charge that exerts a force of 2 dynes on an equal charge 1 cm away. Also called the electromagnetic unit (EMU) of charge. Rarely used today.
