    • Abstract:
      Electrical engineers and technicians face today many professional challenges, but the problem of the choice of the measurement units and their conversion is not one of those. Our colleagues working in mechanics or thermal engineering have to deal with inches and metres, gallons and litres, calories, BTUs and joules. In electricity, everything is smoother: the voltage is always measured in volt, the resistance in ohm; one volt times one ohm gives one watt, and so on. No ambiguities occur, no calculations with weird conversion factors are needed.
