Understanding m.k.s. Units for Electric Field

[Acuben]

This was part of a problem found in my book. Not really homework problem so I'll post it here.

Electric field on a certain region is

(E is a vector of x,y, and z components)
(t is a independent variable in meters)

E=10tx+0y+0z in m.k.s. units.

what kind of unit is this?

I do realize unit of E is N/C or also in kg*C*m^2/s^2
but I still can't related

so what is m.k.s. ?

mks is metre-kilogram-second - as opposed to cgs (cm-gram-second)

The difference is a bit more complicated in electro-magnetism because of the need to keep some of the other units the same - basically for this question you don't need to worry, for the gory details see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgs#Electromagnetic_units
