Convert Electron radius (classical) to a.u. of length
Please provide values below to convert Electron radius (classical) [r_e] to a.u. of length [a.u., b], or Convert a.u. of length to Electron radius (classical).
1 r_e = 5.32513506868e-05 a.u., b. To convert Electron radius (classical) to a.u. of length, multiply the value by 5.32513506868e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a.u., b = 18778.8663968 r_e). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
A.u. Of Length
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
