In CGS, only three fundamental quantities r described.Then how can v say the unit of charge is statcoulomb????

this is due to the fact that the unit of charge has been defined by the international units of system (or S.I. units).c.g.s. units and s.i. units are totally two different things.
|
there are numerous options besides I.I.T

CGS started with cm, g and sec. Then came MKS. Still later MKSA ( look ampere is added) In this way we got SI. All these things r known to u.
Previously it was thought that dimension of mass, length and time is enough. SI added first one ( ampere) , then 3 more. Then 2 supplementaries ( radian & steradian ).
SI awarded charge as 1 of the fundamental unit---coulomb. CGS had no alternaive but to follow with the name statcoulomb for charge.
So in reality, I think there r not only 3 fundamental quantities in CGS. Although old habit die hard.
Correct me if I m wrong.

it is not important where u stand, but in which direction u are moving |
