  • Abstract
    A method is developed for converting between the units and the equations in different systems of units. The appearance or nonappearance of 4¿ as a constant of proportionality in Maxwell´s equations may be attributed to switching the unit of solid angle between sphere and steradian. Treatment of angle as a dimension leads to a convenient and systematic way of conversion between different systems.
