...quantities. Tbe units now adopted all over the world for electrical measurements take the centimetre as the unit of length, the gramme as the unit of mass, and the mean solar second as the unit of time. There are two systems in use, the electrostatic and the electromagnetic. In the former the mutual forces... | |
