This white dwarf is about the same size as Earth.

Gravity is a function of mass. How big is this White Dwarf?
Same size = same diameter?
Same size = same mass?
Jeez Louise.....

Although it is about the size of the earth, a typical white dwarf is about half of the mass of the sun. It's gravitational pull is about 100,000 times what you experience on earth. See the reference below.

Actually, it has a much greater gravitational pull than Earth because of its mass and density. They are some of the densest objects in the known universe and are slightly larger then Earth. 109 kg·m−3
is the density

From far away is the same as that of any star of its mass. In the surface is much higher than in a main sequence star, because you are closer to the center of the thing.
You can calculate.
g = m/r(square root)
Or something like this
