It changes the measurement to convenient and workable numbers and units in the new system.

Conversion between units in the metric system can be discerned by their prefixes ( for example, 1 kilogram

The centimetre – gram – second system ( abbreviated CGS or cgs ) is a variant of the metric system of physical units based on centimetre as the unit of length, gram as a unit of mass, and second as a unit of time.

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.

In many fields of science and engineering, SI is the only system of units in use.

In fact, formulas for physical laws of electromagnetism ( such as Maxwell's equations ) need to be adjusted depending on what system of units one uses.

The units gram and centimetre remain useful as prefixed units within the SI system, especially for instructional physics and chemistry experiments, where they match the small scale of table-top setups.
