Below you will find the standard units of measurements table:
| Quantity | Scientist | Mathmatic Symbol | Unit of Measurement | Unit Abbreviation | Formula | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coulomb (potential energy) | Charles Coulomb | C | Coulomb | J = joule | 6.24 (10^18) = 1A @ 186,000 MPS. | here |
| Conductance (friction) | G | Siemens | S | 1 / R | here | |
| Current | Georg Simon Ohm | I | Ampere (“Amps”) | A | I = E / R | here |
| Voltage | Georg Simon Ohm | E or V | Volt | V | E = I * R | here |
| Resistance | Georg Simon Ohm | R | Ohm | Ω | R = E / I | here |
| Power | James Prescott Joule | W | Watt | W | P = E^2 * R | here |
