Let $Z \in \text{Gaussian}(0, 1)$ be a
D211: Standard gaussian random real number. By definition, we have $G \overset{d}{=} \sigma Z$. Result
R5409: Expectation of the absolute value of a centred standard gaussian random real number shows that
\begin{equation}
\mathbb{E} |Z|
= \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}
\end{equation}
Hence, we have
\begin{equation}
\mathbb{E} |G|
= \mathbb{E} |\sigma Z|
= \sigma \mathbb{E} |Z|
= \sigma \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}
\end{equation}
