Convert Electron radius (classical) to centimeter
Please provide values below to convert Electron radius (classical) [r_e] to centimeter [cm], or Convert centimeter to Electron radius (classical).
1 r_e = 2.8179e-13 cm. To convert Electron radius (classical) to centimeter, multiply the value by 2.8179e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm = 3.5487e+12 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 = 2.8179e-13 cm
- 1 cm = 3.5487e+12 r_e
- 10 r_e = 2.8179e-12 cm
- 100 r_e = 2.8179e-11 cm
How to Convert Electron Radius (Classical) to Centimeter
1 r_e = 2.8179403262e-13 cm

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.
Centimeter
A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "centi-" comes from the Latin word "centum," meaning hundred. The centimeter was part of the original metric system established in France in 1795.
Current Use
The centimeter is a very common unit of measurement for everyday objects and is used in many fields, including science, engineering, and fashion.
