Question

the cgs unit of electric charge

Answer 1

In the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system there are two units of electric charge: the electrostatic unit of charge (esu) or statcoulomb; and the electromagnetic unit of charge, emu, or abcoulomb. One coulomb of electric charge equals about 3,000,000,000esu, or one-tenth emu.

Answer 2

Statcoloumb is unit of charge. It is derived from the formula 1 statC = dyn1/2 cm = cm3/2 g1/2 s−1
