The cgs system on the other hand was regarded as suitable for laboratory use only.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The Poise, the unit of viscosity in the CGS system, was named after him.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The names, but not the values, amp, volt, farad and ohm were carried over from the CGS system.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The CGS system has been largely supplanted by the MKS system, based on metre, kilogram, and second.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It was a coherent system of units, much as SI and the cgs system, but with larger units for industrial use.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Thus the CGS system never gained wide general use outside the field of electrodynamics and laboratory science.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In the CGS system, there are several different sets of electromagnetism units, of which the main ones are ESU, Gaussian, and EMU.
From the en.wikipedia.org
All CGS mechanical units are unambiguously derived from these three base units, but there are several different ways of extending the CGS system to cover electromagnetism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Historically the MKS system of units succeeded the cgs system of units and laid the blueprint for the International System of Units, which now serves as the international standard.
