cgs electrostatic system of units
1Centimetre–gram–second system of units — CGS redirects here. For other uses, see CGS (disambiguation). The centimetre–gram–second system (abbreviated CGS or cgs) is a metric system of physical units based on centimetre as the unit of length, gram as a unit of mass, and second as a unit… …
2Centimetre gram second system of units — The centimetre gram second system (CGS) is a system of physical units. It is always the same for mechanical units, but there are several variants of electric additions. It was replaced by the MKS, or metre kilogram second system, which in turn… …
3Electrostatic units — The electrostatic system of units is a system of units used to measure electrical quantities of electric charge, current, and voltage, within the centimeter gram second (or CGS ) metric system of units. In electrostatic units, electrical charge… …

9Planck units — are units of measurement named after the German physicist Max Planck, who first proposed them in 1899. They are an example of natural units, i.e. units of measurement designed so that certain fundamental physical constants are normalized to 1. In …
10Statcoulomb — The statcoulomb (statC) or franklin (Fr) or electrostatic unit of charge (esu) is the physical unit for electrical charge used in the centimetre gram second (cgs) electrostatic system of units. The SI system of units uses the coulomb (C) instead …
