A cubic centimetre or cubic centimeter American and British English spelling differences in US English SI unit symbol cm sup 3 sup non SI abbreviations cc and ccm is a commonly used unit of measurement unit of volume extending the derived International System of Units SI unit cubic metre , and corresponds to the volume of a cube measuring 1 centimetre cm 1 cm 1 cm. One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of Frac 1000000 of a cubic metre, or Frac 1000 of a litre , or one millilitre thus, 1 cm sup 3 sup 1 mL. The mass of one cubic centimetre of water at 3.98 C the temperature at which it attains its maximal density is roughly equal to one gram. Note that SI supports only the use of symbols and deprecates the use of any abbreviations for units. ref name BIPM2006 cite web url http www.bipm.fr utils common pdf si brochure 8 en.pdf title Bureau International des Poids et Mesures year 2006 page 130 accessdate 2011 11 21 ref In many science scientific fields, the use of cubic centimetres has been replaced by the millilitre. The medicine medical and automotive industry automotive fields are two of the few fields wherein the term cubic centimetre was never discontinued in the United States. Much of the automotive industry outside the U.S. has switched to using litres instead of cubic centimetres. In the United Kingdom, millilitres are used in preference to cubic centimetres in the medical field, but not the automotive. Most other English speaking countries follow the UK example, but the use of cubic centimetres persists everywhere, especially in the automotive field. There is currently a movement within the medical field to discontinue the use of cc in prescriptions and on medical documents as it can be mis read as 00 this could result in a hundredfold ...

Unreferenced date December 2009 The abcoulomb abC or aC or electromagnetic unit of charge emu of charge is the basic physical unit of electric charge in the centimetre gram second system of units cgs emu system of units. One abcoulomb is equal to ten coulomb s. CGS emu or electromagnetic cgs units are one of several systems of electromagnetic units within the centimetre gram second system of units others include cgs esu, Gaussian units , and Lorentz Heaviside units . In these other systems, the abcoulomb is not one of the units the statcoulomb is instead. In the electromagnetic cgs system, electrical current is a fundamental quantity defined via Amp re s law and takes the Permeability electromagnetism permeability as a dimensionless quantity relative permeability whose value in a vacuum is unity. As a consequence, the square of the speed of light appears explicitly in some of the equations interrelating quantities in this system. The definition of the abcoulomb follows from that of the abampere given two parallel currents of one abampere separated by one centimetre, the force per distance of wire is 2 dyne dyn cm. The abcoulomb is the charge flowing in 1 second given a current of 1 abampere.

- Statvolt
Unreferenced date December 2009 The statvolt is a unit of voltage and electrical potential used in the cgs system of units. The conversion to the SI system is 1 statvolt 299.792458 volt s. The conversion factor 299.792458 is simply the numerical value of the speed of light in m s divided by 10 sup 6 sup . It is a useful unit for electromagnetism because one statvolt per centimetre is equal in magnitude to one Gauss unit gauss . Thus, for example, an electric field of one statvolt cm has the same energy density as a magnetic field of one gauss. Likewise, a plane wave propagating in a vacuum has perpendicular electric and magnetic fields such that for every gauss of magnetic field intensity there is one statvolt cm of electric field intensity. The abvolt is another option for a unit of voltage in the cgs system.
