Difference between MKS and CGS Unit
MKS Unit
- The system of unit in which the fundamental quantities length, mass and time are measured in meter, kilogram and second is known as MKS system.
- MKS stands for Meter- Kilogram- Second.
- MKS units are large scale units which are preferred to measure long distances, big objects etc.
- Meter, Kilogram, Second, newton, joule, watt are some units belongs to MKS system.
- MKS system is also known as SI unit, i.e. system international system.
CGS Unit
- The system of unit in which the fundamental quantities length, mass and time are measured in centimetre, gram and second is known as MKS system.
- CGS stands for Centimetre- Gram- Second.
- CGS units are small scale units which are preferred to measure small distances, small masses etc.
- Centimetre, gram, second, dyne, erg, are some units belongs to CGS system.
