설명

The CGS system was the dominant scientific framework from the 1870s until the mid-20th century. It produces units suited to small-scale phenomena: the dyne (force = g·cm/s²), erg (energy = g·cm²/s²), and poise (viscosity). One dyne = 10⁻⁵ newtons; one erg = 10⁻⁷ joules. Electromagnetic CGS has two variants (Gaussian and SI-Gaussian) that differ in how they handle electric and magnetic constants. Modern science now predominantly uses SI.
