Conversion of the MKSA Units to the MKS Units

[edit]

The International System of Units (SI) is a composite system that includes, in particular, the MKS system of mechanical units and MKSA system of electromagnetic units. In 2018, an article was published showing that the electromagnetic units of the MKSA (the ampere, coulomb, ohm, volt, etc.) can be converted using the base units of the MKS: metre, kilogram, second.

This section attracts spam links, and perhaps genuinely intended links of dubious relevance. For example, a "Wikibook" starting:

Also known as fractional dimensional analysis, the technique involves multiplying a labeled quantity by a conversion ratio, or knowledge of conversion factors.

This seems to me to be wrong, insofar as it is coherent. In the end I removed everything. If anyone thinks that any item would really be a valuable addition to the page, please discuss it here. Imaginatorium (talk) 09:02, 4 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
