Convert Electron radius (classical) to chain
Please provide values below to convert Electron radius (classical) [r_e] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to Electron radius (classical).
1 r_e = 1.4008e-16 ch. To convert Electron radius (classical) to chain, multiply the value by 1.4008e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 7.1388e+15 r_e). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 r_e = 1.4008e-16 ch
- 1 ch = 7.1388e+15 r_e
- 10 r_e = 1.4008e-15 ch
- 100 r_e = 1.4008e-14 ch
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.
