Editing Statvolt (section)

==Additional Information==
The statvolt is a fundamental unit of electric potential in the [[centimetre-gram-second]] electrostatic unit (CGS-ESU) and Gaussian unit systems. It is defined as the potential difference between two points that imparts one [[Ergon Energy|erg of energy]] per statcoulomb of charge. This unit's relevance stems from its convenient relationship to electromagnetic quantities in [[vacuum]], where an [[electric field]] of one statvolt per centimetre corresponds energetically to a [[magnetic field]] of one gauss.

In practical terms, one statvolt is equivalent to approximately 299.792458 [[Volt|volts]] in the International System of Units (SI), which makes it significantly larger than the standard volt. This conversion factor arises from the speed of light, c, linking electromagnetic units in the CGS system to those in SI.

Unlike the statvolt, the CGS electromagnetic unit (CGS-EMU) system uses the abvolt as its voltage unit, which differs significantly in [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]] and [[definition]].<ref>https://www.mathconverse.com/en/Definitions/Units/Statvolt/</ref><ref>https://www.knowledgedoor.com/2/units_and_constants_handbook/statvolt.html</ref>
