For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...
This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units. [a] The term "cgs units" is ambiguous and therefore to be avoided if possible: there are several variants of CGS, which ...

Coherence may be restored, without changing the units, by choosing k = 3.6; then the kilometre per hour is a coherent derived unit, with 1 kmph = 1 m/s, and the metre per second is a non-coherent derived unit, with 1 m/s = 3.6 m/s. A definition of a physical quantity is a statement that determines the ratio of any two instances of the quantity.
1.450377 × 10 −5 psi The barye (symbol: Ba), or sometimes barad , barrie , bary , baryd , baryed , or barie , is the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) unit of pressure . It is equal to 1 dyne per square centimetre .
[1] An erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimetre. In the CGS base units, it is equal to one gram centimetre-squared per second-squared (g⋅cm 2 /s 2). It is thus equal to 10 −7 joules or 100 nanojoules in SI units. 1 erg = 10 −7 J = 100 nJ
