The Imperial system has distinct units for length, volume, and weight. Anything defined in terms of those (force, velocity, acceleration, work, etc.) will have distinctive units.
E-M stuff is generally cross-system (amps, volts, joules, coulombs, ohms, farads, etc.) unless it involves weight or length (e.g. horsepower vs. watt).
