The statcoulomb (statC), franklin (Fr), or electrostatic unit of charge (esu) is the unit of measurement for electrical charge used in the centimetre–gram–second electrostatic units variant (CGS-ESU) and Gaussian systems of units. In terms of the Gaussian base units, it is
That is, it is defined so that the proportionality constant in Coulomb's law using CGS-ESU quantities is a dimensionless quantity equal to 1.
