Question

Find the Current unit conversion from SI to CGS.

Answer 1

To convert current units from the International System of Units (SI) to the Centimeter-Gram-Second (CGS) system, you can use the following conversion factor:

1 Ampere (SI) = 10$^{3}$ Amperes (CGS)

In the CGS system, the base unit for current is the statampere (stat A). Therefore, to convert from SI to CGI, you need to multiply the SI current value by 10$^{3}$.

For example:
1 Ampere (SI) = 10$^{3}$ Amperes (CGS)
5 Amperes (SI) = 5$\times$10$^{3}$ Amperes (CGS) = 5000 Amperes (CGS)
Keep in mind that the CGS system is not commonly used in practical applications and has been largely replaced by the SI system.
