Statampere

The statampere (statA) is the derived electromagnetic unit of electric current in the CGS-ESU (electrostatic cgs) and Gaussian systems of units.:278One statampere corresponds to 10/ccgs ampere ≈ 3.33564×10−10 ampere in the SI system of units. The name statampere is a shortening of abstatampere, where the idea was that the prefix abstat should stand for absolute electrostatic and mean ‘belonging to the CGS-ESU (electrostatic cgs) absolute system of units’. The other units in the cgs-esu and Gaussian systems related to the statampere are:
