Question

physical quantity whose cgs units are greater than s.i units

Answer 1

Answer:

S.I units are bigger than CGS units becuz numerical value of CGS us greater than numerical value of s.I units... Example. 1metre=100cm. Here metre is greater than cm becuz 100 is greater than 1 so to balance the equation metre must b greater than cm.

Answer 2

Explanation:

One example of physical quantity whose cgs unit is greater than S.I unit is Electric potential.

The SI unit of Electric potential is Volt or J/C and the cgs unit is esu of potential or erg/ esu of charge

• Here 1 volt = 1J / C = 10^7 erg/ (3×10^9 esu of charge)=( 1/300) esu of potential

or[ 1 esu of potential= 300 volt]

Here it is clearly visible that the cgs unit of electrical potential is 300 times of the SI unit.
