5 cze 2024 · With this CGS system of units converter, you can quickly convert CGS units to SI units and vice versa.
To convert an electromagnetic expression from CGS to SI, you need to substitute (→) or multiply (×) each CGS term by the corresponding coefficient from the table below (for example, C CGS = C SI /4 πε 0 ).
The calculator supports conversions within the CGS system, such as centimeters to meters, grams to kilograms, and seconds to minutes. It also includes some commonly used units outside of the CGS system, like inches or pounds, to facilitate broader utility.
In measurements of purely mechanical systems (involving units of length, mass, force, energy, pressure, and so on), the differences between CGS and SI are straightforward: the unit-conversion factors are all powers of 10 as 100 cm = 1 m and 1000 g = 1 kg.
Gaussian units are the same as cgs emu for magnetostatics; Mx = maxwell, G = gauss, Oe = oersted; Wb = weber, V = volt, s = second, T = tesla, m = meter, A = ampere, J = joule, kg = kilogram, H = henry.
To convert a cgs formula to SI, multiply the symbols by a corresponding factor in Table 1. The derivative quantities are obvious. E.g., volume is r3, therefore is multiplied by 106. The charge density is Q=r3 and is multiplied by 10c=106 = 10 5c, etc. We have also given the dimensionalities in SI system (the power of length, time, mass and charge).
Any formula can be converted between Gaussian and SI units by using the symbolic conversion factors from Table 1 above.
