CGS system of units is also called __________?
Correct answer: B. Metric or French system of units
- A. Metric system
- B. Metric or French system of units
- C. Metric or British system of units
- D. None of these
Explanation
The CGS system is based on centimetre, gram and second, and is a metric system historically called the French system. Therefore, “metric or French system” is the appropriate description. Students may choose only “metric system” because it is broadly true, but option b gives the more complete conventional name.

About Steady Current
Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
