How to Convert Chain to Electron Radius (Classical)
1 ch = 7.1388310862947e+15 r_e
Example: convert 15 ch to r_e:
15 ch = 15 × 7.1388310862947e+15 r_e = 1.07082466294421e+17 r_e
Chain to Electron Radius (Classical) Conversion Table
| chain | Electron radius (classical) |

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.
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.
