Answer:
The cgs unit for energy is the erg. 1 erg = 1 g·cm2/s2. ergs are a lot smaller than Joules; 107 ergs = 1 J. [Other common units for energy include the electron volt: 1 eV = 1.602 × 10−19 J, the calorie and the Calorie

Answer:
There is no such thing as the cgs unit for any electromagnetic quantity. There are at least four ways that the cm-g-s concept has been extended into the world of electromagnetism: electrostatic units (esu), electromagnetic units (emu), Gaussian units, and Heaviside-Lorentz units (these being the ones I am aware of—there may well be others I am not cognizant of).
