Derive the relelion nnecing Cesonb ond satCoulomb

Answer»

F=q1q2/r2Force is measure in dyn = g · cm/s^2,ris measured in cm, and the units of the two charges (called esu or statcoulombs [statC]) must be the same. In order for the units to manipulate algebraically correctly, the unit of electric charge must becm3/2g1/2s−1cm3/2g1/2s−1. This use of Coulomb’s law is exactly what one branch of CGS users did, resulting in a system called the electrostatic CGS units.
