How to Convert Electron Radius (Classical) to Chain

1 r_e = 1.40078955211564e-16 ch

Example: convert 15 r_e to ch:
15 r_e = 15 × 1.40078955211564e-16 ch = 2.10118432817347e-15 ch

Electron Radius (Classical)

The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.

History/Origin

The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.

Current Use

The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.


Chain

A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.

History/Origin

The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.

Current Use

The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
