League

A league is an old unit of distance that was commonly used in the past, especially for measuring distances on land or sea. Traditionally, one league equals about 3 miles or roughly 4.8 kilometers. The exact length of a league could vary by country and time period. It was often used by sailors and travelers to describe how far they had gone. Although the league is mostly obsolete today, it still appears in literature and historical contexts.

Classical Electron Radius

The classical electron radius is a theoretical length scale associated with the electron, derived from classical electromagnetism. It represents the size of a hypothetical sphere where the electron’s electrostatic energy equals its rest mass energy.

• 
  

  Its value is approximately 2.818 × 10⁻¹⁵ meters (about 2.8 femtometers).

  
  
• 
  

  Calculated using fundamental constants: the electron charge, mass, and the speed of light.

  
  
• 
  

  It is not the actual physical size of the electron (which is considered point-like in quantum mechanics), but a useful scale in classical physics.

  
  
• 
  

  Used in scattering theory and classical electron models.

  
  

Key facts:

• 
  

  Classical electron radius ≈ 2.818 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

  
  
• 
  

  Represents an electromagnetic length scale, not a physical size

  
  
• 
  

  Important in classical models of electron behavior

  
  

This radius helps bridge classical and quantum views of particle physics.
