3 unusual facts about Gaussian units


Berkeley Physics Course

Adoption may have been hindered by the choice of Gaussian units, and later editions of volumes 1 and 2 were eventually published with the Gaussian system replaced by the SI.

Thomas–Fermi screening

:\phi(\mathbf{r}) = \frac{Q}{r} e^{-k 0r} (cgs-Gaussian)

:\epsilon(\mathbf{q}) = 1 + \frac{k 0^2}{q^2} (cgs-Gaussian)

The emu-cgs (or "electromagnetic cgs") units are one of several systems of electromagnetic units within the centimetre gram second system of units; others include esu-cgs, Gaussian units, and Lorentz–Heaviside units.
