The Electrostatic Unit (ESU) of charge is a unit of electric charge in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the amount of charge that, when placed one centimeter apart in a vacuum, exerts a force of one dyne. The ESU is part of the CGS electrostatic system where electric charge is defined based on the force it exerts. Although not as commonly used as the coulomb in the International System of Units (SI), the ESU provides a different perspective on electric charge, particularly in theoretical physics and certain historical contexts.
Definition of ElementaryThe term 'Elementary Charge' refers to the smallest unit of electric charge that is considered indivisible in physics. It is denoted by the symbol 'e' and is approximately equal to 1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs. This fundamental constant represents the charge carried by a single proton or the negative of that carried by a single electron. Understanding the elementary charge is crucial for explaining phenomena in atomic and particle physics, as it serves as the building block for more complex charge structures. Its quantized nature underpins many principles in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism.
