SI is the Systeme Internalionale of measurement in which the Metre, kilogram and Second are some primary units. An older system based on metric units used centimetre, gram, and second as the primary units. Obviously these may be converted into SI units, but the CGS system is no longer used. [Some of the definitions of the fundamental units differ between these systems.]
It seems there have been different "CGS" units, and the definition of units, specifically in the electrical area, varies between them. You would first have to decide WHICH cgs system you want to work with.
The cgs unit of kinetic energy is the erg, which is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne acting over a distance of one centimeter.
The CGS unit of force is the dyne, while the SI unit of force is the newton. 1 newton is equal to 10^5 dynes.
The cgs unit of displacement is the centimeter (cm). It represents a distance along a straight line in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system of units.

The cgs unit for force is dyne, which is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram by one centimeter per second squared.
The ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy is 1 CGS unit to 10^7 SI units. This means that 1 erg in CGS units is equivalent to 10^-7 joules in SI units when measuring energy.
Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
The CGS unit of velocity is centimeter per second (cm/s).
In cgs units, the density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter.
The ratio between cgs (centimeter-gram-second) units and SI (International System of Units) units varies depending on the specific unit being considered. For example, the ratio for the unit of length is 1 cm = 0.01 m, while the ratio for the unit of mass is 1 g = 0.001 kg. It's important to convert between these systems when working with different units in physical sciences.
The value of gravity in CGS units is approximately 980 cm/s^2.
