Centimeter-Electric Metercm·A
Target UnitThe cgs e m unit (centimeter-electric meter) is a measurement of electric current based on the centimeter-gram-second (cgs) system of units, which is a metric system of measurements. This unit is defined in terms of the force exerted between two parallel conductors carrying current, specifically, one centimeter apart in a vacuum. The cgs e m unit is equivalent to the current that produces a force of 1 dyne between two infinitely long, straight conductors placed one centimeter apart. Thus, 1 cgs e m unit is defined as 1/10 of an ampere in the International System of Units (SI). This unit emphasizes the fundamental relationships between electric current and mechanical force in electromagnetism.
Current Use
The cgs e m unit is primarily used in scientific and academic research, particularly in fields such as theoretical physics and electromagnetic studies. While it is not commonly employed in everyday applications or industries, its principles are foundational in the understanding of electromagnetism. In countries that utilize the cgs system for certain scientific disciplines, such as parts of Europe and Asia, the cgs e m unit may still be referenced in academic papers and research articles. Additionally, some specialized fields, such as plasma physics and materials science, may occasionally employ this unit when discussing electric currents in relation to mechanical forces.
Fun Fact
The cgs system, including the cgs e m unit, was widely used before the adoption of the SI system.

This unit emphasizes the fundamental relationships between electric current and mechanical force in electromagnetism.
History & Origin
The centimeter-gram-second (cgs) system originated in the early 19th century as a means to standardize measurements in science and engineering. It was initially developed to provide a coherent system of units based on easily reproducible measurements. The electric units were introduced later as electricity began to play a significant role in science and technology. The cgs system was pivotal for the development of electromagnetic theory, particularly influenced by the work of scientists such as André-Marie Ampère and James Clerk Maxwell.
Etymology: The term 'centimeter' is derived from the Latin 'centum' meaning 'hundred' and 'metrum' from Greek 'metron' meaning 'measure'. The 'e' in e m unit stands for electric.
